In what was quite frankly a bonkers afternoon, it was left to Jurgen Klopp to somehow provide context to a historic contest to Liverpool's 9-0 win over Bournemouth.
The sixth biggest victory in Liverpool’s entire history, their best ever in the Premier League, equalling that competition’s record scoreline….which also equalled their record top-flight win.
Yet perhaps the most important statistic of all, was that Klopp’s side recorded their first win of the season after four matches. It was no wonder when asked to sum up the victory in one word, he replied: “Needed.” That was perhaps the manager’s way of politely suggesting it was such a one off as a game, meaning there was little point in trying to read too much in it.
