Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hailed the “incredible” achievement of setting a new unbeaten club record but admits he has little time to enjoy it.
Klopp’s side set a new club landmark of 64 home league matches without defeat – eclipsing the great team of the late 1970s and early 1980s – with Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino on the scoresheet in a 3-0 win over Leicester after Jonny Evans’ early own goal.
Jota also reached his own personal milestone, becoming the first Liverpool player to score in his first four top-flight league appearances at Anfield.
“I think it is an easy game to analyse: first half with and without the ball we weren’t aggressive enough,” he said.
“We had a couple of moments – Harvey (Barnes) had a great chance – but the first goal is one of those things. The best team won, we are disappointed with the performance and result.”
Rodgers denied it was a missed opportunity with Liverpool’s lengthy injury list.
“Everyone’s talked about Liverpool’s injuries and that was the narrative going into this game but it is still a top-class team with players who can hurt you,” he added.
