Liverpool secured their first Premier League win in four games at Anfield.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was all smiles again as his side beat Bournemouth 9-0 at Anfield in the Premier League matchday 4 fixture. The manager said his side showed what they are all about, but there is still plenty of room for improvement.

The Reds produced an impressive attacking display in L4, with Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz scoring twice each, while Harvey Elliott, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Fabio Carvalho also scored, plus an own goal from Chris Mepham.

According to the German manager, his side needed to prove a point to themselves after a short pre-season with mixed results; good performances and less good performances, completely normal for a pre-season, having a peak so early in the season and playing really well [against City] and then going down for some reason.

The 9-0 win

According to Klopp, he hasn't thought about where this 9-0 record against Bournemouth ranks in his career, because it's a strange result, a fact that doesn't happen often in the weather combination and it's very likely that something similar won't happen again, for the German coach, if something like that were to happen, it would be too much of a coincidence.

"It's not that we have worked less in the last eight weeks, or whatever since we started again, it's not like that, it's not that we thought it would be difficult. We were all in a very good mood. We really liked what we saw most of the time, and then you don't really get it on the ground," Klopp explained.
