Klopp was asked at a pre match interview who the better football player was – he or Jose.
This is what he came up with..
In the game Firmino did another Cruyff turn, and missed mainly because of a pretty spectacular goalline block by 20-year-old defender Japhet Tanganga.
But he scored eventually and Liverpool held on to that lead to take the game 1-0 .
They now have an incredible 61 points from 21 games — a number unmatched, ever, by any team in Europe’s big five leagues.Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Juventus had previously set the benchmark by accumulating 59 points from their first 21 games of the season, but Liverpool have now smashed that record.
Their total of 61 points is the most after 21 games of a Premier League season and this has never been surpassed in the Spanish, Italian, German or French leagues at the same stage.
That’s a wow.
Klopp is surely enjoying the view from the top.
