Roberto Firmino extended his recent goalscoring streak to secure a 1-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday and put Jürgen Klopp's team 14 points clear at the Premier League summit.
The victory took Liverpool's points total this season to a staggering 61 - the most any side has ever recorded after 21 games of a campaign across all of Europe's top five leagues.
What they said...
Klopp: "We had to play for it - and in the end we had to fight for it, really hard. We could have closed this game earlier. We should have, I would say; the chances were clear. Until 72 or 73 minutes, I think, we had 77-80 per cent possession, so it is a big challenge to come here and have that amount of possession knowing about the counter-attacking quality of these players on the pitch. It was intense, really, but I think we deserved the three points."
Alisson Becker: "The feeling is amazing to win here. It was a tough game - it always is a tough game to play away against Tottenham - and I think we did really well. Bobby is one of the most important players in our team - and we have a lot. I think everybody is important but Bobby not only scores when we need him, he makes the team play, he drops to play from behind."

Virgil van Dijk's perfectly-timed last-ditch tackle to stop Dele Alli with the Spurs attacker seemingly through on goal and the game still in the balance at 1-0.
The game in numbers...
Liverpool have collected a record-breaking 104 points across their 38-game unbeaten run in the Premier League - more than any team across a 38-match spell in the competition's history, beating the 102 recorded by Manchester City (2018) and Chelsea (2005).
Firmino has scored five goals in his last six games for Liverpool in all competitions, with all of his nine so far this season coming away from Anfield.
Klopp's side have registered six consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League for the first time since December 2006, when they kept seven on the bounce.
