Liverpool 5-0 Huddersfield - reaction as Reds go top again

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It was another brilliant performance. Teams that have been relegated can be dangerous because they have nothing to lose and they go out and play, but we got a great start. We scored some fantastic goals and kept a clean sheet so it was a good night.

"They had a couple of corners and set-plays but we managed to deal with it well and go on to dominate the game. I'm delighted for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He worked so hard to get back to where he is now and when he came on he looked as if he had never been away. He has been sharp in training and I wish that chance went in for him, but we are all delighted to have him back because he's an important player.

"We are looking forward to the Barcelona trip. It's a tough place to go but we have a great belief in ourselves and we are looking forward to showing what we can do."

Speaking to BBC Match of the Day, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says: "We are happy with the points we have and now we are focused on the next game. We have a mindset that works and we try to create problems for each opponent by working hard.

"It's obviously an outstanding group of players, who did well against a Huddersfield side who are much better than the result shows. They had proper counter attacks so we needed to be patient and we scored wonderful goals."

It's been a convincing win for Liverpool. They had moments of quality all over the pitch.

Huddersfield didn't bring much to the game and Liverpool were totally superior. They have done their job and it's over to Manchester City now.

That's all from me...but this title race is far from won!

I'm going to leave you with the best reaction from tonight's game at Anfield.

What an utterly breathtaking title race this is but there can only be one winner.

Thanks for your company.

More from Jurgen Klopp.

On Mohamed Salah taking the record for the most goals scored (69) by a Liverpool player in his first 100 games for the club: "He looked like he wanted to break that record tonight because after the second goal it was like 'me against the rest of the world'. It is incredible and it is such an important season for him after a flying campaign where every shot was a goal last season.

"He is being really assessed by people to see if it was a one hit and keeping that level is a bigger achievement than scoring 40 goals last season. He made a big step this season. Thankfully all of the others are doing that as well and that is why we are in the situation we are in."

On Roberto Firmino's injury: "Do not believe 3% of what is on social media. I had no argument with Mo Salah after the Chelsea game of all games, and Roberto Firmino is not out for the rest of the season. After training he felt it a little bit and this morning he still felt it. It's a small tear but it's Bobby so I would say it is likely he is fit for Barcelona because he is a machine. It's good we showed we can play without him."

With 91 points, this Liverpool team are already better than 11 out of the 13 Man Utd title winning teams. Crazy to think they might not win it.

This victory means Liverpool will end today top of the Premier League - it is the 29th time that the lead has changed hands at the end of a day this season, the outright post-war top-flight record, overtaking 28 times in 2001-02.

But who will be top at 5pm on 12 May?

Speaking to BBC Match of the Day, Huddersfield manager Jan Siewart says: "No one expected us to be brave and we could easily have put on our helmets and sit on the back foot but we put them under pressure. This is how I want to continue with my work because I know it will deliver results.

"Jurgen Klopp has proved that at Liverpool where he came in changed the system, and hopefully now he is playing for the title. We all knew they could punish us but I am proud of the way we created chances."

Liverpool:

Manchester City:

Sunday: A v Burnley (14:05)

6 May: H v Leicester City (19:45)

12 May: A v Brighton & Hove Albion (15:00)

Jurgen Klopp tells Match of the Day that Roberto Firmino is "likely to be ready" to face Barcelona on Wednesday but adds "we don't know 100%."

The Liverpool boss then chips in: "Don't believe 3% of what you read on social media."

Great advice, Jurgen.

Interviewer: "I want to throw some names of great Liverpool scorers at you. Keegan, Dalglish, Rush....

Klopp: "I know them all."

Here comes Jurgen Klopp. Does he ever take that baseball cap off?

Huddersfield have now lost 28 Premier League matches this season – they have never lost more league matches in a single Football League campaign in the club’s history (also 28 in 1987-88 in the second tier).
