Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp explained his passionate celebration in front of the Kop after victory over Leeds.

Klopp oversaw a 6-0 win on Wednesday night as they cut Manchester City's lead at the top of the table to three points.

He said, "I'm not so sure – if I'd been there 10 seconds later I wouldn't have done it. But in that moment I got a little bit carried away, obviously it doesn't happen too often anymore to me but in this moment it happened and absolutely fine for the moment. I really loved how the whole stadium responded to the game tonight and how we were really in the game as a unit.

"I couldn't be more thankful for the support of the people because so many things happen only because of them. I'm really happy that from time to time – it will not happen a lot – but we can give them a performance and a scoreline like tonight. That's it, pretty much."

Klopp also said: "Honestly, we don't chase City; we try to win our football games. The thing is now we have obviously the cup final at the weekend and City play, I don't know exactly who, but they might probably win this game then it is six points again before we play the next Premier League game.

"I am not sure then if we play the next game after them or before them, [but] it might be nine points all of a sudden, so we don't have to count these kind of things. We just have to win our football games."
