Jurgen Klopp sets Liverpool record after Southampton win

Jurgen Klopp has emerged the fastest Liverpool manager to claim 300 league points in fewer games

The Liverpool boss has enjoyed three consecutive wins - the Super Cup and two Premier League games since the start of the new season.

The Reds 2-1 victory over Southampton at Saint Mary's Park became the German's 146th League match he's managed under the Merseysiders since taking charge in October 2015.

Goals from Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino got the Reds an early lead at top of the league table and also aided Klopp to surpass a landmark of 300 league goal in 150 fixtures previously held by Sir Kenny Dalglish.
