Liverpool continued their perfect start to the season with a 3-1 win over Arsenal with a typically intense Anfield display.
The pressing game of Jurgen Klopp’s side, defending from the front with a high-tempo, was evident from the off against the Gunners.
Although they went 1-0 down, they soon came from behind to come out on top against Mikel Arteta’s side and make it three wins from three.
After the game, Klopp discussed how they play with a high line and expect to concede some chances as he responded to claims they were “sloppy” from Manchester United legend Roy Keane in the Sky Sports studio.
And Lineker noted how the Reds have take on the style historically used by great effect to German giants Bayern Munich in order to achieve success.
Responding to the clip, Lineker wrote on Twitter : “Blindingly obvious and clearly going down the @FCBayernEN route, but yes, interesting to hear it from the man himself.”
After overhearing Keane say his side were sloppy, Klopp said: "That's an incredible description of this game, this was absolutely exceptional. Nothing was sloppy. Absolutely nothing.
"From the first second dominant against a team in form, 100 per cent in form. You have to be careful like hell and not get hit by the counter attacks.
"I think 60/70 per cent of all the balls in behind were offside, you just wait a little bit longer for the flag meanwhile, so that's why it feels not great but it was offside.
"Ali had to make one save, there were two balls in behind, you can't avoid that, you need a goal in these situations.
"Apart from that, the football we played was absolutely exceptional tonight. So it doesn't help for any other game. Not for Thursday, not for Sunday. Not for nothing."
