Jurgen Klopp surpasses Rafael Benitez as the manager to win the most Premier League games in Liverpool's history following Saturday's thrashing of Crystal Palace.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has broken a club winning record following the Premier League champions' 7-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds were simply unplayable at Selhurst Park and ran riot in the capital, with Takumi Minamino, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, Jordan Henderson and Mohamed Salah all on the scoresheet.

Furthermore, the victory was Klopp's 127th in the English top flight since taking the reins at Anfield, with the German now boasting the most Premier League victories in Liverpool's history.

Rafael Benitez was the previous record holder with 126 Premier League triumphs to his name with the Reds, who have opened up a five-point gap at the top of the Premier League table with that drubbing.

On the other hand, Palace boss Roy Hodgson has now lost seven games against his former club since his departure from Anfield. Only Mark Hughes - who has suffered 10 defeats against Manchester City - has lost more times against an old employer as a Premier League manager.

Liverpool now have more than a week to recuperate before they welcome Sam Allardyce's West Bromwich Albion to Merseyside on December 27.
