Roberto Firmino added his name onto the score sheet 12 minutes after the interval, before Mane struck his second.

Daryl Janmaat pulled one back for Watford before Georginio Wijnaldum rounded off the emphatic win at the stroke of full time.

Despite the impressive win, Klopp insists there is still room for improvement.

"In specific moments, there was a lot to be pleased about, but there are other moments when it was not too enjoyable," the German coach said in his post-match interview.

He said that the match was hard work, adding that his team played well for 84 minutes but were not that good in the other six.

Klopp brushed off comments that his Liverpool team are well on their way to clinching the league title, despite sitting clear at the top by one point heading into the international break.

The manager insisted that it is vital to collect points "for the finish and for the final third of the season."

Klopp says that he is not interested in talking about his team lifting the title. Instead, he is opting to focus on ensuring his team remains a formidable unit that can continue winning matches.

Liverpool's last won the Premier League trophy in 1990.
