Liverpool cruised to a 3-0 win against Watford to stay top two of the Premier League and keep their unbeaten start intact, thanks to Mohamed Salah and further goals from Trent-Alexander Arnold, and Roberto Firmino.
After winning 3-0 at Vicarage Road, Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool had to work extremely hard for their perfect result on Saturday evening.
“We worked hard in the first half as well. It was a difficult situation today. Maybe I should not talk about it but it’s to explain how difficult things are to prepare a game like this.” Klopp told club website.
“In the half-time we had to stay stubborn, we had to do it again and again – better, of course – and with more rhythm change. That was not brilliant in the first half, we could have changed the rhythm much more often and we had to change it much more often.
“But it was still good. Then in the second goal was a world-class free-kick and the third goal was one of the best counter-attacks I ever saw. So, 3-0, it couldn’t have been better.” Klopp added.
Liverpool took this season’s points tally to 33 – the most the club have had at this stage of a Premier League campaign. The former Borussia Dortmund manager Klopp said the Reds record-breaking start to the season is outstanding.
“It’s nice. 33 points are brilliant, outstanding. The goal difference is really good, so I like all that. In this fantastic, big club with the outstanding teams of the past, that this group of players can get this record is nice.” Klopp said.

“We all know the season is not finished and it doesn’t bring anything, but if somebody wants to have this record in the future they must beat this team. So, that’s good, not bad, but of course we will carry on.
“It’s just a nice moment. A clean sheet, after being 2-0 up you not only want to win but you want to keep a clean sheet as well. It’s not usual you have these two things in your mind, usually you only think about wining. So, all good and I really think the players deserve it.” Klopp added.
Liverpool will be travelling to Parc des Princes against Paris Saint-Germain on November 28, as part of matchday 5 of the Champions League group stage.
