LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp insisted his side proved a point to themselves in their record-equalling 9-0 Premier League win over newly-promoted Bournemouth on Saturday, an encounter he labelled the "perfect football match."

After going into the contest winless from their opening three games at the start of the season, Liverpool kick-started their campaign in style and it was the fourth time a side has won by a nine-goal margin in Premier League history.
