Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for his team, and Sadio Mane in particular, after their thumping of Leeds United.

The Reds moved to within three points of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, besting the Whites 6-0 at Anfield on Wednesday.

Mohamed Salah netted two penalties, while Sadio Mane grabbed two goals in the last 10 minutes as well. Joel Matip and Virgil Van Dijk were the other scorers.

Post-game, Klopp said: "In the end it went pretty smoothly. It was really hard work because they make it hard work. It is tricky playing against a man marking side, you feel pressure where no pressure is.

"We had to be fully concentrated and we were and in the end it is a wonderful night. There might be some people out there who think penalties you should not count them but you want the right person on the spot to put them away and that is what Mo did.

"Sadio Mane's game was probably one of his best in the way he interpreted his role. Absolutely insane.

"In the end top game, top for the people. In a really good shape and a wonderful night at Anfield.

"Leeds had good spells but I think it is really difficult to play the way they did for 90 minutes against a team like us."
