Jurgen Klopp hailed Liverpool’s win at Newcastle as one of their finest of the season and insisted strength in depth is keeping them in the hunt for the Quadruple.
Liverpool’s manager took what some would have perceived as a risk at St James’s Park, when resting key men such as Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara ahead of the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Villarreal.
He brought in James Milner, who had not started in a top flight fixture since January 2 at Chelsea, and Joe Gomez, who had only played 90 minutes twice in the Premier League this season, but both men played significant roles in an authoritative 1-0 victory.
