In Saturday Liverpool earned the biggest victory in Premier League history as they thrashed newly promoted Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield.
Klopp’s side equalled the Premier League record win as they blitzed Bournemouth and this was their own highest goal tally of a game in the new era.
Liverpool join Leicester and Manchester United in an elite club.
Man Utd have hit nine past an opponent on two occasions, against Ipswich and more recently Southampton.
Leicester also scored nine past Southampton.
Liverpool got off to the perfect start as two goals in the opening five minutes against the Cherries set a raucous Anfield rocking.
Luis Diaz rose to powerfully head home the opener and the impressive Harvey Elliott curled in his first top-flight goal with a sublime strike from outside the box.
Full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold thumped a long-range shot into the top corner, with all three goals assisted by Roberto Firmino.
The Brazil forward went from provider to scorer on the half-hour mark when he acrobatically converted from inside the six-yard box and Virgil van Dijk headed in the fifth from a corner – all before half-time.
It went from bad to worse for Scott Parker’s men in the first minute of the second half when Chris Mepham stretched to divert the ball into his own net and Firmino poked home the seventh of the afternoon after a fortunate deflection.
Summer signing Fabio Carvalho volleyed in with eight minutes left for number eight and Colombia winger Diaz headed in the ninth to complete an incredible, historic win.
For Bournemouth, the rout was their third consecutive league defeat without scoring a goal after beating Aston Villa in their opening game.
