LIVERPOOL, England : The balance of power had supposedly shifted from Liverpool to Manchester United with the arch-rivals heading in opposite directions, but that theory was blown to bits on Sunday.
On Sunday, however, Liverpool's record 7-0 rout of the visitors reduced United's new-found swagger to a stagger. "A freak result and a top performance," the German told reporters after Liverpool's biggest ever win over United courtesy of braces for Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez and a late effort by Roberto Firmino.
"It's really, really special and we should not forget that just because we are used to him scoring a lot of goals," Klopp said of the Egyptian."He should be really proud of that."
