Jurgen Klopp hails 'great day' for Reds after 6-0 win at Aston Villa

Jurgen Klopp hailed Liverpool's 6-0 thrashing of Aston Villa at Villa Park as a rarity when everything went right for his team.

The Reds embarrassed Remi Garde's relegation-threatened Villans, with six different players getting on the scoresheet in a one-sided Premier League affair.

"It's a great day," Liverpool's German manager told talkSPORT, following our exclusive UK radio commentary of the match.

"It's not very often in a manager's career that you have days like this, that you score the goals always in the right moment and control the game the whole time."

"There were a few situations, not really dangerous, but a few situations for Aston Villa [threatening the Liverpool goal], but we defended them well."

With Liverpool 2-0 up at half-time, and perhaps mindful of the way in which they let a two-goal lead slip at home to Sunderland with 10 minutes remaining last weekend, Klopp stressed that he was aware his team needed to push on after the break at Villa.

"We went in at half time, it could have been 3-0, so we had to carry on," he explained.

"[We knew] Villa will come out, they will fight back, you can hear the crowd, then we scored the goals in the right moments, and nearly everybody scored a goal."
