Jurgen Klopp praised for 'touch of class' for what he did after Liverpool 9-0 win

Jermaine Jenas has praised Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp for his "touch of class" moment after the Reds beat Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.

Liverpool had the game done and dusted at half-time when they went into the break 5-0 up as Klopp introduced some youngsters into the action for their Premier League debuts.

After the match, Klopp felt the need to console his opposite manager Parker and even offer the young boss some words of encouragement after the record-equalling Premier League victory.

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jenas said to Match of the Day about Klopp's embrace with Parker : “I thought this element here from Jurgen Klopp was a touch of class to be honest with you. He’d have been in that situation as a young manager himself and understand what Scott Parker is going through."

This win was much needed for Liverpool after drawing against Fulham and Crystal Palace before losing at Manchester United on Monday night and the Reds now have their first victory on the board in this new Premier League campaign.

Liverpool will take on Eddie Howe's Newcastle on Wednesday night at Anfield before making the short trip across Stanley Park where they face Everton on Saturday.
