Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admitted that he had "no words" to describe his side's stunning 7-0 victory over Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool, who went into the contest looking to record a second successive victory after overcoming Wolves in midweek, produced a devastating second-half showing, scoring six times without reply to condemn United to their heaviest defeat since Boxing Day 1931. Cody Gakpo, who was on United's radar ahead of the January transfer window, opened the scoring shortly before half-time, bending a classy finish past David de Gea.
After Darwin Nunez doubled the home side's lead just two minutes after the interval, United collapsed in dramatic fashion. Gakpo netted his second to make it 3-0 before Mohamed Salah got in on the act to smash a thunderous effort past De Gea to make it 4-0.
