However, Klopp preferred to extol the virtues of the collective efforts of his players rather than single out individuals.
Klopp said: “I am happy for all the boys when they score but I couldn’t say how many he has, or how many he has, I don’t care.
“That is not in my interest. If we play like we play in our good moments then the boys will be in good situations. They will all score.
“Sadio Mane didn’t play here but he will score if we play like this, if we bring the different players in the different moments in the different situations.
“When you see the result is 5-0 that it was an easy game but it wasn’t an easy game. It was really hard work, I’ve no problem with that.
“I’m really happy with what we learned from the game. It is a perfect result for us, nobody injured I don’t think. Important three points, five goals, clean sheet so it’s all good.” —
