Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane scored twice each, as Liverpool crushed Leeds United 6-0 on Thursday (NZ time) to close the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester City to three points.
Playing their game in hand on City, Liverpool raced into a 15th-minute lead through Salah's penalty and the title chasers were unrelenting.
A rare Joel Matip goal made it two on the half-hour mark, before another Salah penalty effectively put the game to bed before the interval.
Salah was again instrumental in the move that led to Mane slotting home the fourth 10 minutes from time, before the Senegalese forward added his second in the 90th minute.
Virgil van Dijk stabbed home the sixth in stoppage time to complete the perfect evening for Klopp's men and send a real message of intent to City.
Liverpool move to 60 points from 26 matches, three behind the champions. Leeds slipped further into the relegation battle, remaining 15th and only three points clear of the bottom three.
A 71st-minute header from Ben Mee has given lowly Burnley a surprise 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Turf Moor.
Mee beat Cristian Romero in the air at the back post to head in a free kick from Josh Brownhill and earn the Clarets their third win of the season.
Harry Kane had struck the bar with a header for Tottenham shortly after the break, but Spurs, who beat league leaders Manchester City on Sunday, were unable to find a way past Burnley keeper Nick Pope.
Burnley remain within the relegation zone but move up to 18th place on 20 points, two points behind Newcastle United and Everton but with a game in hand on the former.
In the other result of the day, Crystal palace earned a rare away win with a 1-1 victory over Watford.
