That was how football should be - Klopp on Hull thrashing

"That was how football should be," insisted Jurgen Klopp after his Liverpool team thrashed Hull City 5-1 in the Premier League on Saturday.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hailed the first-half performance of his side after a 5-1 Premier League mauling of Hull City on Saturday, insisting: "That was how football should be."

Klopp's men were rampant, racking up a fourth win in a row in all competitions, with Adam Lallana giving Liverpool an early lead, which was soon doubled from the spot by James Milner after Ahmed Elmohamady was sent off for handball.

The goals continued to flow, with Sadio Mane on target and a wonderful strike from Philippe Coutinho adding the fourth, while another Milner penalty rounded off a victory that thrilled Klopp.
