Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool are getting 'close' in the race for the top four, and warned his players they must aim to match the standard of performance in their 7-0 win over Manchester United for the remainder of the season.
Liverpool climbed above Newcastle United into fifth and sit only three points adrift of the top four. The Magpies trail Liverpool by just one-point having played a game fewer than Klopp's side, and boast two games in hand over fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur, who are currently four points above Eddie Howe's men.
Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah all bagged braces, before Roberto Firmino added a seventh in the 88th minute to record an historic victory for the Reds. Salah surpassed Robbie Fowler as Liverpool's all-time Premier League top goal scorer as they registered their heaviest ever win over the Red Devils.
