Liverpool turn on the turbo

Middlesbrough 0 Liverpool 3: Liverpool went second in the Premier League with a mesmerising display, full of balance and composure that eventually simply overwhelmed well-organised, determined Middlesbrough.

And visiting boss Jurgen Klopp could be forgiven for struggling to contain that famous toothy grin as he watched his team excel all over the Riverside pitch.

Dejan Lovren marshalled his defence expertly, Jordan Henderson quarter-backed the midfield like the England captain he is, while up-front the pace and slick interchanges of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi troubled the Teessiders all evening.
