In an interview with SkySports following the game, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said, "The fans are smart, they know things like this don't happen too often.

He had previously complimented Klopp, saying that Ralf Rangnick was doing a good job for Manchester United's future. The decision to field five defenders at the back was risky, he admitted in his post-match interview, despite his understanding of it.

Only when you're not used to playing it and you face a team like ours, which is very flexible in attack and very direct after winning the ball, does it pose a problem."

Liverpool's counter-press was as good as it's ever been, regardless of the other team's efforts, and Klopp reflected that after the game.

It's unbelievable how many balls we were able to win back with our counter-press, which I thought was second to none.

We scored our first goal when you lost the ball against us in these moments, with our speed and desire the boys showed.

Klopp's summation of the match mirrored the ease with which Liverpool annihilated their opponents, which was a fitting analogy.

It was a fantastic game, with "awesome goals" and "everyone happy," says the narrator.
