Klopp delighted with 'exceptional' Liverpool's start to Premier League season

Jurgen Klopp has hailed Liverpool's "exceptional" start after the Reds moved to the top of the Premier League with a 4-1 victory over Cardiff City.

Despite Mohamed Salah's early goal, Liverpool struggled to shut out their visitors completely – Callum Paterson pulling one back in the 77th minute after Sadio Mane had put Klopp's side two up.

But Liverpool rallied from conceding a first goal at home in the league since February, Xherdan Shaqiri putting the result beyond doubt before Mane added further gloss.

Although Klopp acknowledged Liverpool were not at their best, he expressed delight at the Reds' tally of 26 points from their opening 10 fixtures.
