Jurgen Klopp admitted his relief after Liverpool finally won their first Premier League game of 2023 with a 2-0 derby victory over Everton on Monday.
Mohamed Salah scored in the competition for the first time since Boxing Day and January signing Cody Gakpo notched his first goal for the club in the Anfield triumph.
Liverpool's success ended a run of four league games without a win and lifted them to ninth in the table while struggling Everton remained in the bottom three.
Asked how he felt after the game, Liverpool manager Klopp said: 'Relieved - that's it, that's the main feeling since the final whistle.
