Premier League: Liverpool Score 5 As Boss Jurgen Klopp Becomes Part Of History [Video]

Liverpool FC boss Jurgen Klopp entered history books when his team thrashed their Merseyside rivals Everton 5-2 at Anfield Wednesday night.

It was Klopp's 159th top-flight fixture in charge and at the end of the night, Klopp emerged as the second quickest manager in the history of Premier League to win 100 matches.

The German manager has only Jose Mourinho above him, who reached a century of victories in just 142 games during his two stints at Chelsea. However, this record time could soon be broken by Manchester City's manager, Pep Guardiola, who has already led the reigning champions to 97 wins in only 129 matches.

While Klopp fell behind Mourinho, he sure became the quickest Liverpool boss to 100 Premier League match wins.

When asked about the new record, Klopp described it as a "nice number" but also mentioned that he was "not really interested" in history.

"I would have loved that this number is in one season, that would be great. Last year we were nearly 38 games unbeaten, nearly but was not enough. A nice number, but I’m not really interested. Since one and a half two years it feels like we have to win each and every game, thank God the boys did it from time to time, so all the wins are really necessary," the German added in an interview after Liverpool's win on Wednesday.

The win meant Liverpool have reopened their eight-point lead on the top of the points table.

A brace from Divock Origi and a goal each from Sadio Mane, Xherdan Shaqiri and Georginio Wiljnaldum helped Liverpool remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season. Out of 15 matches, the leaders have won 14 and drew one, which came against Manchester United.

In fact, Klopp's side has not been defeated in the Premier League since Jan. 3 when they were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last season. While its almost a year to that match, Liverpool have gone on to win 23 of their 24 league matches.

Ever since Klopp has joined, the Reds have hardly lost at home. The last time they lost at Anfield in a Premier League match was back in April 2017 when they suffered a 1-2 loss to Crystal Palace.

Aiming to extend their lead, Liverpool next face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League.
