Jurgen Klopp has admitted Liverpool achieved their objective of ‘proving a point’ after earning a record-equalling Premier League win over Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
Three points were required for the Reds after two draws and a defeat in their opening three league matches. The pressure was on Klopp and his players to perform, who responded to this challenge by putting nine goals past their opponents.
Liverpool supporters were pleading for a tenth goal to be scored as the game petered out, highlighting just how routine the occasion had proven to be for the hosts. Missing out on the chance to become the first Premier League team to hit double figures in a match will not have bothered Klopp in the slightest, who recognised after the match the importance of adhering to the high standards set by his players so often in years gone by.
