"This was an exceptional performance from my players," he said. "They showed great character and determination, and I couldn't be prouder. The fans were incredible today, and I'm sure they'll celebrate this victory for a long time."
On the other hand, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was left shell-shocked by his team's performance. "We were outplayed and outclassed today," he said. "There are no excuses. We need to regroup also come back stronger next time."
The result leaves Liverpool sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table, with United languishing in mid-table. With performances like this, Liverpool looks like serious contenders for the title this season, and it's hard to see anyone stopping them on their current form.
