Jurgen Klopp hailed Liverpool's complete performance as they took a spectacular step towards the Champions League quarter-finals.
Sadio Mane led the 5-0 demolition of Porto, becoming the first Liverpool player to score a hat-trick away in Europe since Michael Owen in 2002.
Mohamed Salah reached 30 goals for the season with a moment of extraordinary cool – only George Allan in 1896 has hit the landmark quicker – while Roberto Firmino maintained his excellent form with the fourth goal of an extraordinary evening.
Porto could not contain Liverpool's rampant forward line but, equally, they got no joy out of a defence in which Dejan Lovren and Virgil Van Dijk, making his European debut for the club, also sparkled.
