Liverpool manager Arne Slot, speaking to BBC Sport: "Satisfying because we scored three and that's not really been coming for us. To create a lot of chances has been. To score three with the chances we did have has not happened that many times this season so I am really pleased with that.
"I thought we were up already earlier but not many moments later we scored from a full-back and another full-back attacking the box and that tells you how much these players want to score a goal. The second goal was even nicer than the first one.
"It started out with us bringing the ball out from the back. It was two teams wanting to bring the ball out from the back which you don't see that much anymore in the Premier League. It was a great team goal, a great switch and Mohamed Salah laying it off and the finish was probably the nicest part of the attack.
"In the end we get players back. It is fair to say we have developed a lot from two, three or four months ago. We are much more able to bring the intensity levels that are needed in the Premier League and Champions League after two days rest. Most of these players are young so there is a lot more to come from them. That is why we did what we did in the summer. Giving them time to adjust also cost us too many points that is also clear but the team is in a good place at the moment."
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, speaking to TNT Sports: "It was a good game. We scored three very good goals and a clean sheet as well and that is all you can ask for.
"There have been times I've scored more but not played as well as I am now. I just want to play well, help the team as much as I can. I am fortunate enough to be in team with lads that can score goals. The more times I can score I'll try, the better.
"I'm a footballer. I'm a centre midfielder, I want to assist, score and help the team but if the manager needs me to play as a centre half or as a full-back or striker I'll go and do it and try my best. Today I was in as a full-back, I scored and helped the team so I am happy.
"I think we have clicked for a while. It is a season that has obviously not been as good as we'd have liked. You can't go into every game and expect to win. I think the team has gelled and off the pitch there is a good bond as well. It is a matter of time before we kick on again.
"I want to win everything. I know what the fans expect. I know what it is like to play for a team like this, you have to win things."
