Jurgen Klopp insists his Liverpool side 'won't celebrate like crazy' after recording a resounding 5-0 win over Manchester United out of their respect for the club.
Liverpool piled the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as United manager as they thrashed their fierce rivals in an intense match at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
United spurred a wonderful opportunity to take the lead minutes into the match when Bruno Fernandes blasted over the bar from close range only for Naby Keita to put Liverpool ahead moments later.
Diogo Jota doubled the lead eight minutes later before Mohamed Salah netted a superb hat-trick to secure an emphatic win for Klopp's side at Old Trafford.
United's task was made even harder when Paul Pogba was shown a red card for a wild challenge on Naby Keita in the second-half and after the match Klopp admitted Solskjaer's side 'are not in their best moment' right now.
"What can I say? Did I expect that? No," Klopp told Sky Sports after the match. "What we did in the last third was insane. Pressing high, winning balls, scored wonderful goals. I told them at half-time to play better. We started incredibly well and stopped playing football. We controlled the game after the fifth, it was not about scoring more, just trying to get out without more injuries.
"The result is insane, I asked if there was one like this in history and if there isn't then it will take a while. The players put a nice piece in the book. It is special but we don't celebrate like crazy, we have respect for the opponents. We were lucky in some moments, United are not in their best moment."
