Top 5 Best Liverpool wins under Jurgen Klopp- Best Liverpool performances

5) 2016: Liverpool 4-3 Borussia Dortmund – Europa League QF 2nd leg (sort of)

It was a good performance in the second half, but we can’t discount this game simply because of the result. After a 1-1 draw in Dortmund in the first leg, Liverpool went into the 2nd game fairly confident, but found themselves 2-0 down after 10 minutes, needing 3 goals to progress to the semis.

Never write them off. Even after getting a goal back, but then going 3-1 down, the hope around Anfield never completely died out that night, and the persistence of the team lead to another special European night, which climaxed with Dejan Lovren’s towering header in stoppage time to get Liverpool the win and help them make it through to the next round.

 

4) 2015: Chelsea 1-3 Liverpool – Premier League

With Chelsea in turmoil, Liverpool visited Stamford Bridge at arguably the best time they could’ve done. Again, despite going 1-0 down early on, Liverpool dealt Chelsea a nasty Halloween trick as Phillpe Coutinho shone, grabbing 2 goals. Christian Benteke got a third late on and Liverpool took all 3 points away from Jose Mourinho’s side as the fantastic start under Klopp continued. It was one of the best Liverpool wins under Jurgen Klopp.

 

3) 2015, Dec 2: Southampton 1-6 Liverpool – Capital One Cup QF

In a game where, yet again, Liverpool found themselves behind early, their young stars shone on an impressive night for the team down south in the Capital One Cup quarter finals. The return of Daniel Sturridge from injury helped the Reds along.  He quickly turned the game around and put Liverpool 2-1 up, and Alberto Moreno added another one before half time.

From there, it just got worse for Southampton. A brace from Divock Origi and a fantastic finish from Jordan Ibe sent Liverpool flying into the semi-finals, setting up a date with Stoke. It was a night to remember for the travelling Liverpool fans. Beating Southampton 6-1 was one of the best Liverpool wins under Jurgen Klopp.

 

2) 2016 May 5: Liverpool 3-0 Villarreal – Europa League SF 2nd leg

This was, at the time, to be Klopp’s biggest game yet as Liverpool manager. A week before, the side had endured a frustrating night in Spain playing the away leg, unable to break Villarreal down and losing the match 1-0 due to a late goal in stoppage time.

After the heroics of the the side in the previous round vs Dortmund, the Anfield crowd were up for it like never before, and Liverpool ended up cruising to a comfortable 3-0 win against the Spanish side, a performance worthy of making them Europa League finalists. Beating Villarreal was one of the best Liverpool wins under Jurgen Klopp.

1) Liverpool 3-0 Manchester City- Champions league Quarter Final first leg, 2018

It was a night to remember at Anfield on April 5th when Liverpool beat Manchester City 3-0 in the Champions League Quarter Final. The atmosphere was unreal. It was unlike any thing I’ve ever seen. The fans, the noise, the stadium was rocking.

Liverpool absolutely pounced on Manchester City as soon as the whistle went to start the game. The Reds pressed Man City like it was their last game ever. Salah was at his best along with the midfield while the Liverpool defence stood strong. The footballing world was in shock when Liverpool thrashed Man City and with such ease.

It will go down as the number one on our list of the best Liverpool wins under Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool won the second leg 2-1 which meant  The Reds faced Roma in The Champions League Semi Final. Well Liverpool easily beat Roma 5-2 in the first leg. Then in the second, Liverpool lost 4-2 but it wasn’t enough for Roma. This means Liverpool are now through to the Champions League final!

The Champions league final is on May 27 where the Reds will take on Real Madrid.
