The Reds kicked off 2024 with a victory at the fabled Anfield Stadium, with Mohamed Salah breaking the game's deadlock four minutes after recess, which marked his 150th strike in the EPL for the Reds, according to The BBC.

However, Eddie Howe's men pulled parity shortly after through Alexander Isak.

A raft of changes saw Klopp reshuffle his cards in a bid to turn the game in favour of his side after Newcastle's equaliser.

His tactical twitch worked the trick as Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones combined to restore the home side's lead in the 74th minute before another substitute, Cody Gakpo, notched Liverpool's third.

Dutch defender, Sven Botman, put the cat among the pigeons with his well-timed header to reduce the deficit, but Salah ensured the victory with an emphatic penalty, which came under controversial circumstances.

Nonetheless, Klopp and his charges revelled in the win, which cemented their position at the summit of the EPL standings.

While the 4-2 win came in epic fashion, it was the celebrations in the aftermath of the game that caught the attention of many, with the German tactician at the centre.

Known for his fist pump celebrations with the Liverpool fanbase, the 56-year-old manager did not disappoint, as he began by appreciating the vociferous supporters.

Unfortunately, in the process, he momentarily lost his ring while on the pitch and even had to engage a steward to help in the search for his precious jewel, as noted by the Sun.

However, he managed to locate the ring with the assistance of a cameraman. Expectedly, the former Borussia Dortmund boss displayed his passion by kissing the ring in front of the cameras.
