Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted with victory over Burnley at a full Anfield on Saturday.
Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota struck the goals for the hosts.
Klopp said: "Obviously we were all looking forward to this. A football-fest I call it. Nobody left today with any disappointment. All our dreams were fulfilled today, atmosphere-wise. The best we've had, pretty special.
"The new idea is to let the game flow, I think we'll talk about that frequently over the year but we won.
"Ali made two top saves but one was offside, sensational."
On Harvey Elliott, he also said: "Harvey was part of this performance. 18, such a mature game. I can understand people asking but I'm not surprised."
Klopp added: "I love football and all these challenges but we came from protecting the players more to letting the game flow and there is a grey air. It doesn't sound like letting the game run makes too much sense. It was a proper test today, we passed it."
