Ragnar Klavan's first goal for the club was followed after the break by strikes from Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi as the Championship team proved no match for Klopp's free-scoring side. "We were better tonight and we deserved to win, we created plenty of chances.

Could we have done better? Yes, but is that important? No," Klopp said. "You need to be 100 per cent professional in games like this, but we were ready for every opportunity. We could've been better in the first half with the last pass and in the second with our counter attack but we will take 3-0 all day.
"The pleasing thing is it's not we are surprised by it. I have always thought the difference between home and away shouldn't be that big when you're a good side, which we are. That's what we expect from us. Tonight was very professional from us."
