After not winning any of their opening three games of the season, Liverpool had a point to prove, and wow did they prove it.
The Reds ran out 9-0 winners against Bournemouth, with six different players getting on the score sheet, including first goals for Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Klopp admitted the result was ‘strange’ but praised his side for pushing their opponents across the full 90 minutes.
“Nine-nil is a strange result, it will not happen often,” Klopp said.
“It just feels a very important result. It is not that we worked less in the last eight weeks, we were all in a really good mood, liked what we saw most of the time – but you don’t get it in the stadium.
“You have to turn a few other screws, and that is our job. When it turns out like today it is fantastic.

“For us it is early in the season, and if you said to us before the game we could start the season now results wise as well, that means it is not now about controlling the game, it is about putting the opponents under pressure.
“Wonderful goals. [Liverpool] started immediately again half-time with the 6-0 after half-time. We could bring on the kids, they deserve it so much. Fabio is a special player and a wonderful goal. Everything was perfect, pretty much.”

Liverpool have registered their first win of the season, after picking up two points in their previous three games.
A humiliating defeat at the hands of Manchester United capped of an underwhelming opening to the season but that has been quickly forgotten with this record-breaking result.
Klopp takes his side on the road for their next two fixtures as they travel to Newcastle on August 31 before a crunch match with city rivals Everton on September 3.
