Liverpool thrashed Leeds United 6-1 in their most recent fixture in the Premier League, and Jurgen Klopp said it was the best game they have played in the 22/23 season.
Liverpool romped to a heavy win against Leeds United at Elland Road, with Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota bagging braces and Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez scoring a goal each.
The Merseyside outfit headed into the game against Leeds winless in their last five fixtures in the Premier League. But a sensational performance saw Liverpool deservedly earn all three points from the fixture.
Speaking after the match, Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for Liverpool, who he said played their best game this season.

Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for Liverpool’s performance in 6-1 win over Leeds United
“I think it’s the best game we’ve played this season from all different perspectives,” Jurgen Klopp told Sky Sports [via 90min]. “We forced a lot of errors, sensational goals, and counter-pressing, the best game for a long time.
“There were a couple of tough moments, we conceded an unnecessary goal, but these things happen. Apart from that, we were in control of the game.”
Jurgen Klopp added: “I’m not bothered about scoring six, it’s about the performance. This was a winning performance. We can be super offensive-orientated if we react at the right moment. I can’t explain why our counter-pressing didn’t work [earlier this season], but tonight it clicked.
“I’m not sure how many goals we scored after we won the ball back – that makes all the difference.”
Liverpool, meanwhile, continues to sit eighth in the Premier League points table. The Reds have 47 points from 30 games in the English top flight so far this season. Liverpool are nine points behind fourth-placed Newcastle United, who have 56 points from 30 matches.
Liverpool only have slim hopes of securing a top-four finish in the Premier League this season, and it remains to be seen if they will be able to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Up next, Liverpool will take on Nottingham Forest, who languish at 18th in the Premier League table. The game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest will kick off at 7:30 pm Indian Standard Time on April 21.
