Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, was pleased with his side's overall performance in the win over Atalanta.
"We defended Atalanta on an incredibly high level and played ourselves top football and scored the goals," Klopp said.
"That’s how it looks. We scored five goals, could have scored maybe two or three more, I don’t know. But Alisson had to make three world-class saves as well.
