Jürgen Klopp acclaimed the ‘exceptional’ efforts of his team over the course of 2019-20 as Liverpool wrapped up an historic season with a 3-1 victory at Newcastle United on Sunday.
The Reds finished the campaign with a club-record 99 points following the win at St James’ Park, having ended a 30-year wait to be crowned league champions last month.
They did suffer an early setback in the north-east when Dwight Gayle put the hosts in front after just 26 seconds of play; however, the visitors responded in hallmark fashion and dominated the remainder of the contest.
Virgil van Dijk drew Liverpool level before the interval with a towering header from an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cross before Divock Origi and Sadio Mane struck after the break.
