Jurgen Klopp was left in awe after being told of an incredible penalty stat ahead of Liverpool’s crunch clash against Manchester United in the English Premier League.
The Reds boss was informed that his side have not conceded a single penalty in the Premier League since the start of the 2017/18 season.
Klopp was visibly taken aback by the stat, and responded with a simple “Wow!”
The German manager was speaking ahead of the highly anticipated clash between the two sides at Anfield on Sunday.
The Reds have been in imperious form this season, and currently sit top of the Premier League table, eight points clear of second-placed Manchester City.
Klopp’s side have been particularly impressive at the back, conceding just nine goals in their opening 15 league games.
The Reds have also been solid from the penalty spot, with goalkeeper Alisson Becker saving two of the three spot-kicks he has faced this season.
The stat is even more impressive when you consider that Liverpool have faced some of the league’s top penalty takers this season, including Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane and Eden Hazard.
Klopp’s side have also been impressive from the penalty spot, with Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and James Milner all scoring from 12 yards this season.
The Reds will be hoping to extend their impressive penalty record when they face Manchester United on Sunday.
The two sides have a long and storied rivalry, and the game is sure to be a fiercely contested affair.
Klopp will be hoping his side can continue their impressive form and extend their lead at the top of the table.
The German manager will also be hoping his side can extend their incredible penalty record, and ensure that they remain the only team in the Premier League yet to concede a spot-kick this season.
