Firmimo netted his second of the game in the 68th minute, while substitute Mohamed Salah scored twice to the scoreline more emphatic.
The Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson had this to say after the match.
“It was coming, I felt, because over the last few games we’ve had some chances and we haven’t taken them and it’s cost us at times,” Henderson told BT Sport.
“But today we managed to finish our chances, which is always important in football.”
As the midfielder continued his assessment, he rightly acknowledged that despite the result, the league leaders were “sloppy at times.”
Liverpool’s 7-0 demolition of Crystal Palace on Saturday means Jurgen Klopp has now won more top-flight games than any other Reds boss in the Premier League era.
