Jurgen Klopp lauded Liverpool’s “complete” second-half performance after they secured a 3-1 victory at Fulham
Liverpool regained their winning touch in the Premier League after last week’s 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace
Timothy Castagne had equalised for the Cottagers in the first half but it was not enough as Klopp’s men showed their class after the break.

“The second half was a complete performance, if you want,”
“It was our best performance so far that we’ve had against Fulham.
“I thought the next step was to win today, the boys did that and it was really good. We created much more chances, we could’ve scored more often.
“I’m really happy with the performance and hopefully nobody got hurt and we will see because we have to recover quickly as we’re playing on Wednesday.
“We’re in the situation we are at the moment because of the character of these boys. Nobody expected us to be here and we are and that’s because of the boys.”
Klopp added: “Nobody is like Trent so that’s how it is.
“The way we play with him can be different so it’s super helpful and I’m really happy about that.“It’s good for once to have all the big guns around.
“It’s a great free-kick and he has that from time to time. We needed it, it was a great goal, the other goals were good. For long periods of time Trent was exceptional, superb.”
Marco Silva admitted the defending in the lead-up to Liverpool’s second and third goals needed to be better

“I think the third goal killed the game, we were very loose on the right.
“It was one moment we should be stronger in the challenge because we were soft and it was a moment to stop the situation before Jota scored.
“It was hard to concede the second and third in the second half. After that it was hard for us to react.”
