The record was set in fitting style, sweeping arch rivals Manchester United aside at Old Trafford with a scoreline for the ages and retaining the Reds' one-point gap behind front-runners Chelsea in the Premier League table.

Trajectory of success

Klopp joined the Reds after a rollercoaster two seasons under Brendan Rodgers, which saw the club let a title tilt slip in 2013/14 before dropping out of the top four altogether the following season.

Klopp's key stats

  • Games managed: 331
  • Games won: 200
  • Goals scored: 684
  • Goals conceded: 335

A maiden season of transition took hold upon his appointment in 2015/16 and the club finished eighth - their joint-lowest standing in Premier League history.

But Klopp hoisted his side into the top four the following season and has stayed there since, winning the Champions League and pushing Manchester City to record-breaking heights in the Premier League in 2018/19.

That staggering success laid the groundwork for what was to come, when the Reds finally ended a 30-year hiatus without a league title and claimed their first Premier League crown in 2019/20.

Wedged between being crowned kings of Europe and England, Klopp also navigated a fixture pile-up to travel to Doha and bring home the FIFA Club World Cup with a 1-0 win over Flamengo in extra-time.
