Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reserved special praise for Philippe Coutinho, following The Reds’ 5-1 dismantling of Hull City on Saturday. The Brazilian got himself on the scoresheet again, but his overall performance drew effusive praise from his manager.

Coutinho netted another long range cracker, with Klopp joking, "I’d like to take the credit for his shooting ability, but I’m not responsible for this. It’s very good! All his goals he scored were because we created the spaces, not to force [him] to shoot like this.

"In this moment it was the perfect finish — the absolutely perfect finish for the situation. We played with all offensive players, today something like eight. We played freely and patient football – a lot of ­movements, a lot of good passing patterns which I saw. I was really pleased with all this."
