Liverpool ran out as comfortable winers against Huddersfield Town last night.
Liverpool beat Huddersfield Town 5-0 last night, with Naby Keita opening the scoring for the home side after just 15 seconds.
The Reds now sit two points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, although Pep Guardiola’s side have a game in hand.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have been in superb form recently, and they haven’t lost a Premier League game since January 3rd.
Last night’s win put the pressure back on City, and tensions were eased early after Keita struck for Liverpool inside the first minute.
Klopp, though, told reporters how the goal almost came too early, as quoted by the club’s official website:
“For me, the goal was actually a bit too early. I have no problem with early goals but after all the preparation, all we said about how difficult the game is, I really think the game showed how difficult it could have been if we were not that clinical in the goalscoring situations because Huddersfield did well.”
The German’s comments do seem a little strange, considering the fact that Liverpool’s early strike instantly ruined Huddersfield’s hopes of frustrating the Anfield crowd.
And deep down, Klopp will surely be hoping for more early goals, with his Liverpool side seemingly on the verge of achieving something very special indeed this season.
