On a historic day at Old Trafford, Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp vowed to celebrate their 'insane' 5-0 rout of Manchester United with a beer or two on the team bus back to Merseyside on Sunday, October 24, 2021.
Mo Salah's hat-trick, following early goals from Naby Keita and Diogo Jota, led to Liverpool's biggest ever win at Old Trafford and their largest success against United since 1925.
Despite being unbeaten in their last 22 games in all competitions and having scored three or more goals in each of their last eight away games, Klopp admitted he was shocked by the size of Liverpool's victory.
“5-0, I couldn’t be happier, it is exceptional. Absolutely outstanding,” Klopp said.
He added, “I have a few defeats in my mind which were not necessary but we won today so we drink beer on the way home!”
Salah's current deal expires in 2023, and there have been fears he will leave Anfield if he is not paid among the Premier League's top earners. However, Klopp expressed confidence in the Egyptian forward's commitment to the team.
