Jurgen Klopp delighted with "wonderful" Liverpool display at Maribor

Klopp delighted with "wonderful" Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp has hailed Liverpool's performance after claiming a 7-0 win at Maribor in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino netted braces, while Philippe Coutinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Trent Alexander-Arnold also got their names on the scoresheet at the Ljudski Vrt.

As well as praising the Reds' general play and counter-attacking display, Klopp was also happy with his side's "mature" attitude.

"Our attitude was outstanding - we were spot on from the first second," the German told BT Sport after the game.

"We scored wonderful goals, played wonderful football and it looked like [Maribor] were not very good but is difficult to play against us. I love the fact we stayed really concentrated in the second half, we controlled the game and it was a very mature performance.

"You can struggle in a game like this if you do not have a 100% attitude, it was very mature. Seven goals was wonderful, but the counter pressing I was close to celebrating it, it was so good. They are a really good football team and they could not cope with this. All over it was a really nice performance."

The win sent Liverpool to the top of Group E after Spartak Moscow hammered Sevilla 5-1 in the group's other game.
