  • Liverpool thrashed Czech side Slavia Praha 5-1 in the Europa League
  • Darwin Nunez's first goal was the Reds’ 1,000th under Jurgen Klopp
  • It was a milestone for the manager, who will quit the club in June

Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool at the end of the season after announcing to the fans in a video message in January, and on his way out, he is reaching milestones.

Darwin Nunez's first goal and Liverpool's second in the 5-1 demolition of Czech opposition Sparta Praha in the UEFA Europa League was the 1,000th under the German manager.

Per Planet Football, he is the fourth Premier League manager to reach that figure, the second highest in 476 games, behind Pep Guardiola, who achieved it in 404 matches.

Sports Brief looks at the club's top 5 highest goal scorers since the Klopp era began.

Top scorers of Klopp's Liverpool

1. Mohamed Salah

Salah, the focal point of Klopp's success at Liverpool, is unsurprisingly the player with the most goals under the manager. The Egyptian winger has 205 goals and counting. He is third on the club's all-time top scorer behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.

2. Sadio Mane

Sadio Mane, Salah and Roberto Firmino formed a deadly trio that helped deliver success to the team before breaking up when the Senegalese left the club in 2022. He netted 120 goals in six seasons. He is currently at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia after a season at Bayern Munich.

3. Roberto Firmino

Per Transfermarkt, the Brazilian is Klopp's most used player, having featured in 355 games before leaving Anfield for Saudi Arabia last summer. He started his Liverpool career as an attacking midfielder and evolved into a number 9. He scored 111 goals in eight seasons.

4. Diogo Jota

The Portuguese attacker has scored 55 goals under the manager. The gap between number three and number four underlines Klopp's loyalty to his players and how long he could utilise the core he built at the club.

5. Divock Origi

The Belgian was a substitute for most of his time at the club but scored some crucial goals, including the one from Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner taken quickly against Barcelona in the lead-up to winning the 2019 UEFA Champions League. He netted 41 times for the manager.

Five managers who could replace Klopp

Sports Brief analysed five managers who could replace Klopp after the former Borussia Dortmund boss announced he would leave Merseyside in June.

Several names have been linked to the soon-to-be vacant role, including former midfielders Xabi Alonso and Steven Gerrard. Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is also under consideration.
