Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists breaking records is not the club's target this season after moving within four wins of beating Manchester City's 100-point tally with five games to go

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insisted breaking records is not the club's target this season after a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa took them a step closer to more landmarks.

Sadio Mane's sixth goal in as many games against Villa and a maiden Premier League strike from teenager Curtis Jones, who signed a new five-year contract on Saturday, came in the final quarter of a laboured win for the new champions over their relegation-threatened visitors.

It put them within 11 points of equalling Manchester City's 100-point tally for a season while also bringing up their 17th successive home league win this season and 24th in a row in total.
