WATCH: Jurgen Klopp explains why Adam Lallana’s strike against Arsenal was the perfect Liverpool goal

Liverpool scored four great goals against Arsenal last weekend.
It was hard to pick a favourite. Philippe Coutinho's equalising free kick was spectacular, the Brazilian's second came from a nicely worked move topped off with a smart finish, and Sadio Mane's fourth, which turned out to be the winner, was a spectacular solo effort. But if neutrals - and most Liverpool fans - had to pick one they would surely opt for Coutinho's second, which came after 19 passes and was a brilliant finish from the Brazilian who got on the end of a wonderfully fizzed cross from Nathaniel Clyne. Jurgen Klopp has different ideas, however. He feels that Lallana's effort - the least spectacular of their goals - was the best. In fact, Klopp has gone so far as to say it was a "perfect goal". Why? Because Liverpool got six men into the opposing box."That's what is the sign for a good team performance, for a confident team performance. That's really important that we have these different options in the box. "Gini (Georginio Wijnaldum) could make a cross, he had three options I would say who could take the ball after the cross and Adam was quickest and finished the situation. That is a perfect goal."https://twitter.com/LFC/status/766234860541186048
