Darwin Nunez, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, and Cody Gakpo scored for the Reds at Gtech Community Stadium, giving them an excellent three points.
In a confident performance from Klopp’s troops, Ivan Toney scored a consolation goal for the Bees to make it 3-1 before Gakpo restored the visitors’ three-goal lead late on.
“We played an exceptional game,” the boss said post-match. “[It’s] by far the best game since I’m with Liverpool here at Brentford. By far.
“Dealing with all the specific situations they create and being as dominant as you can somehow be, be calm in the right moments, be direct in the right moments, use their man-marking, play against the line, all these kind of things.
“I saw a top game, honestly. Obviously the first 10 [or] 15 minutes, I don’t know exactly, they had these counter-attacks and they looked really good. I liked it as well when Toney and [Neal] Maupay, they’re [just] gone.
“We had to adapt our protection, obviously, in these moments. [We] did that and then that was done but the set-piece [danger] was still there. If you see the stats we committed 18 fouls, they [committed] four… that’s it.
“[A] very good game in strange circumstances but we are still really happy with the result.”
