Leeds Thrashing Was Liverpool’s Best Performance, Says Klopp

Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp believes that the 6-1 Premier League win over Leeds United on Monday, April 17 was his side’s best game this season.

Mohammed Salah and Diogo Jota scored a brace each while Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez had a goal apiece in the rout.

Luis Sinisterra scored Leeds United’s only goal in the encounter.

Klopp was pleased with Liverpool’s all-round performance in the match.

“I don’t know (What) pleased me most? The moment of the game, the best (one) I enjoyed the most, was the 92nd minute,” Klopp was quoted as saying by Liverpool FC.com

“I think it was already five or six-one, we lose the ball and four players chase the poor, poor player from Leeds down at that moment. I think that’s the basis for the whole game because that gave us stability.

“It was from a counter-pressing point of view, definitely the best game we played this season. In possession probably as well.”

Liverpool has obtained 47 points from 30 Premier League games this season and they are eighth in the division.

Up next for the Reds is a clash with Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday, April 22.
