After 250 games in charge of Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp has surpassed Jose Mourinho's record for most Premier League wins as a manager.
During his time as Chelsea manager, the Portuguese won 158 gamesKlopp, on the other hand, made it 160 wins in 250 games with today's 2-0 victory over Watford.
"True!" the German answered when asked by BT Sport reporter Des Kelly if he realized it was his 250th Premier League game in charge. Yes, it had been a long voyage.
"It took a while, six and a half years or whatever it took.
"But, clearly, you can't do it faster, so no – it's good."
"It would have been fantastic if all 250 could have been exceptional, but that's not realistic."
"So we played a few nice ones and a few bad ones... Today's performance was more than adequate to win the game.".In the 22nd minute, Joe Gomez performed his best Trent Alexander-Arnold impression to cross for Diogo Jota to head home, giving the Reds the lead against former manager Roy Hodgson's tough Hornets.
They had to wait for their second goal, which came in the form of a penalty from Fabinho barely a minute before the end.
Klopp now has 160 career wins, two more than Mourinho's 158.
They were both more successful than Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.
The two-time Olympians won 152 and 146 games, respectively.
