Jurgen Klopp has reached new heights as the manager of Liverpool this week for numerous reasons after a hard-fought 2-1 win over Southampton.
The headlines in midweek surrounded the Reds' dramatic penalty shootout victory over Chelsea in the European Super Cup, a win which handed Klopp his second trophy since joining the club in 2015.
The wait for a trophy ended in June thanks to a 2-0 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final and that was promptly followed up by another European success in Istanbul.
But it was the less glamorous success on the road at Southampton on Saturday afternoon which led to Klopp breaking two club records.
The first is to do with the Reds' current impressive winning streak in the Premier League of eleven victories.
Liverpool won their final nine matches of the 2018/19 campaign to end second and have now added two straight wins to the mix this term.
As revealed by Opta Stats post-game, the eleven-game winning run is a Premier League club record for Liverpool.
It is a streak which surpasses the ten straight matches in a row won under Brendan Rodgers during the 2013/2014 season.
The other statistical success for Klopp is even more imperssive.
The German has now amassed 300 league points as a manager with the Reds, in just 146 games.
That is faster to the 300 mark than club legend Kenny Dalglish, who previously held the record.
