VIDEO Klopp hits back at Aguirre's comments on Mohamed Salah

Victory at Vicarage Road means Liverpool have collected more points at this stage of a Premier League season than ever before, eclipsing a previous record of 32 points in 2008-09, much to Klopp's delight. Twice he was there with a hand and made a tactical foul.

Gomez has established himself back in Liverpool's side after missing the end of last season and the World Cup through injury, he has also become a key component of Gareth Southgate's England team.

Klopp was similarly disdainful when questioned regarding reports Fabinho could seek a move over a lack of game-time, the midfielder having started only three Premier League games since signing from Monaco.

"The second one I didn't like too much because I wanted to change him".

Mane, who has scored six league goals this season, signed a new contract with the Anfield club on Thursday, following in the footsteps of his fellow attackers Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino who agreed long term deals in the past year.

There's a real feel good factor around Liverpool at the moment, but that will need to translate into silverware sooner rather than later. A clean sheet, after being 2-0 up you not only want to win but you want to keep a clean sheet as well.

Liverpool took a while to settle in the game, and their first big chance came after Xherdan Shaqiri's ball into the box nearly found Roberto Firmino.

"I think they were both yellow cards", he said. We have to win football games week in and week out.

"We controlled it today".

"It was a closer game than the scoreline but they are a very good team and they are able to do this". If a player is in a very good moment in his career and you can extend the contract, it's more than just a signing, it's a statement. We had these games a year ago, we had to play against teams like this. It is hard. Controlling it, staying in that mood, being positive in a situation, that's new for us and I like it a lot. I am really happy about the way [we did it]. He radiates joy and I think this is reflected in his performances and impact on the pitch.
