After Sunday’s draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United, the pressure was on Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.
With the gap at just one point between them and Manchester City, neither side can afford to slip up between now and May.
But Liverpool answered any doubts tonight when the thumped an in-form Watford side 5-0 at Anfield.
Klopp was a much happier man tonight and he showed fans just how much the three points meant to him at full-time.
After dishing out a host of bear hugs and high fives, the German ran towards the Kop and let out a big fist pump.
Klopp was a much more relaxed figure than the one on the Old Trafford touchline on Sunday.
He let his feelings be known when Jordan Henderson appeared to snub him for a handshake after being subbed off.
The captain was on the bench tonight but entered the fray with around 20 minutes remaining.
Tonight was another hurdle overcome for the Reds and with just ten games remaining the finish line is now in sight if they can hold their nerve.
