It was a Sunday afternoon for the ages at Anfield, but Jurgen Klopp already knows that it has to mean something.
Liverpool were utterly irresistible at times as they blew away Manchester United by seven goals to nil, with six of the strikes coming in the second half as the visitors were left undressed, unable and embarrassed.
United had arrived on Merseyside with their tails up, with a trophy in the bag and with confident boasts from a few of their former players who sensed the chance to redress the balance in a rivalry which has been largely all Liverpool's in recent years. Some even suggested that tables had already turned.
