Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted with his side’s performance for the majority of their crushing 6-1 victory over Watford on Sunday.

Goals from Philippe Coutinho, Emre Can, Roberto Firmino, Georginio Wijnaldum and two from Sadio Mane sent the Reds to the summit of the Premier League.

Despite the manner of victory, Klopp still had bones to pick at a small period of their performance but hailed several individual players.

“In specific moments I enjoyed the performance,” Klopp told Sky Sports. “At others it was difficult. It was a brilliant performance for 84 minutes, but for the last six minutes it was not too nice, not just because we conceded a goal but we stopped trying to do the right things.

“I don’t think anyone needs me to describe how good Philippe Coutinho is, you can see it. But Roberto Firmino? It should have been a close race today. Sadio Mane played well, and Emre Can. It is not easy to pick this team.

“Gini Wijnaldum is in good form, Daniel Sturridge is always close to the team, Alberto is in good form and Simon Mignolet as well.”
