Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has called for his 'sensational' side to 'enjoy the ride' of the Premier League title race after they produced a stunning display to beat Watford 5-0 at Anfield on Wednesday.
Braces from Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk, as well as a Divock Origi strike, saw the Reds run out comfortable winners against the Hornets, while managing to retain their one point lead over Manchester City at the summit of the Premier League in the process.
It was a performance that appeared to delight Klopp, who has called for his side to take that form into the remaining games of the campaign, starting with the Merseyside derby on Sunday against Everton.
Speaking post-match, as quoted by Sky Sports, he said: "
"I loved the game a lot. We want to see that more often. The boys have showed things like this all season but tonight it was for different reasons very important.

"We have 69 points. We could have had 75, that's possible. But we are playing a really good season. Let's enjoy the ride and see as far as it takes us."
