Klopp thrilled as Liverpool show fight

Towards the end of the game, Leeds’ Georginio Rutter had the ball in the middle of the pitch and was intent of starting an attack to at least get another consolation goal.

But he was swarmed by four Liverpool players who picked his pockets to steal the ball back, in a piece of play that completely thrilled Klopp on the bench.

The German was seem screaming “Oh My God” several times before eventually standing up to applaud his players for their efforts.

Klopp admitted after the game that it was the best game they played this season, despite the fact that they thrashed Manchester United 7-0 just a few weeks ago.

 "I think it is the best game we played this season. Counter pressing wise, best for, I could say decades (laughing)." He said as quoted on SportBible.

The win takes Liverpool to eighth place, nine points behind Newcastle United in fourth. Their next assignment is a fairly tricky fixture against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, April 22.

Salah makes Premier League history

Sports Brief also reported on how Mohammed Salah made history after his brace against Leeds.

The former Roma ace has now scored an incredible 106 goals with his left foot, one goal more than Robbie Fowler's 105.
