Jurgen Klopp thanks supporters for backing the team

JURGEN KLOPP spoke about the importance of the bond between his team and their supporters after Liverpool saw off old foes Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.

A towering header from Virgil van Dijk and a late strike from Mohamed Salah saw the league leaders go 16 points clear of second-place Manchester City with a game in hand.

Salah’s strike in second-half added time prompted wild celebrations. Goalkeeper Alisson sprinted the length of the pitch to celebrate the goal which he assisted having quickly released the Egyptian on the counter-attack.
