Jurgen Klopp couldn't contain his excitement at Liverpool's stoppage-time press at Leeds LFC
Liverpool scored six in their thumping of Leeds on Monday night, but none of the goals were Jurgen Klopp’s favourite moment of the match.
This was much more like it from the Reds in what’s been a very frustrating season for them, with braces from Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota, as well as goals by Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez sealing their dominant win.Klopp was purring in stoppage-time particularly They showed the class that fans have come to know and love under the German’s guidance but the moment that pleased Klopp the most was a good old fashioned piece of hard graft from four of his players in stoppage-time.
After Luis Diaz had the ball taken from him, the Colombian, Nunez, Thiago Alcantara, Trent Alexander-Arnold took it upon themselves to win the ball back.The result was a beautiful chaos as the hunting pack barged Georginio Rutter off the ball to regain possession in a fine showing of counter-pressing.
“I think it’s the best game we’ve played this season from all different perspectives; aspects from the game, controlling the game,” Klopp told Sky Sports.“It was a really good game, sensational goals and counter-pressing wise it was our best game for I was going to say decades but long ago.
