Jurgen Klopp hailed the performance of his Liverpool team in their dismantling of Manchester United but admitted the 7-0 scoreline was a 'freak result'.

A tight game at Anfield was still goalless two minutes before half-time, but once Cody Gakpo had fired Liverpool ahead the hosts roared forward and United completely collapsed.

They conceded twice in the first five minutes of the second half and then folded to allow Liverpool to run riot in front of the Kop, but as happy as Klopp was with the performance, he said the scoreline was a one-off.
