Former Liverpool striker and five-time title winner Ian Rush believes the newly-crowned Premier League champions will continue to break records.

The Reds secured a 19th triumph with seven matches to spare, eclipsing the previous best of five set by Manchester United (2000-01) and Manchester City (2017-18) without kicking a ball when Pep Guardiola's side lost 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.

Rush said the current squad deserved comparison with the all-conquering side of the 1980s in which he played but felt what stood Klopp's men apart was their relentlessness.

"I think this is great for the younger generation, They must be fed up of their mums and dads saying 'I was there when Liverpool last won the league'.

"The time has come and they can actually say they have witnessed Liverpool win the league."
