Jurgen Klopp was pleased that his side managed to transfer their training ground work onto the pitch as they beat West Ham 4-1 in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Reds took their goal tally for the season to 103 as Mohamed Salah, Emre Can, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane were all on the scoresheet in the win.

And Jurgen Klopp was extremely happy with their display against the Hammers as he described his side as a “joy to watch”.

“I don’t think as a manager you can expect a game like this, you can hope for it but it’s very rare you get it,” Klopp said following the victory. “We got it. It was a joy to watch.

“The boys delivered, it makes me really happy. It helps us when we have time to train and prepare but we don’t often have the time. I saw a lot of things today we did in training which makes me happy.

“It is not always like this, this is one of the best games we have played, 100%. Our counter pressing was outstanding. That always helps us a lot. We all know David Moyes organises his teams really well, they are back on track since he went there.

“When I woke up this morning I didn’t expect a game like this, it was a joy to watch for everybody.

“It was intense, it was aggressive, it was angry, it was full of desire. I saw everything I wish to see in a game of football and it’s not often you see that.

“We scored from a set-piece too. You only ever talk to me about set-pieces when we suffer from them so it’s nice to score one too.

“Can we stay second? That depends on other results. We don’t have to worry about that now.”
