Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted with Bobby Firmino for their 9-0 win against Bournemouth.

Firmino scored twice and produced three assists.

Klopp said, "Yeah, top. Top! In a bunch of outstanding football players and top performances today; loved Robbo's impact, for example, [he] makes all the difference for us when he's that lively, but Bobby, yes. He played, I know that's not the moment to talk about individual performances when you lose at Man United 2-1, but he played a really good game there.

"Imagine a game against United where we have near 70 per cent possession without Bobby, it would probably have been 49 [per cent], or whatever, so he was everywhere, but today was a completely different game. So for him, again, high up the pitch, more between the centre-halves, dropping, yes, but in different areas between the different lines and arriving in the box, being part of the massive chance in the first half when it was the little one-two with Harvey I think, backheel - that's Bobby Firmino how we all know him.

"For him, if you talk about what kind you get off the chest, this was a massive game today. So, and the timing couldn't have been better, to be honest."
