Arsenal momentarily put an end to the bleeding after the break but Firmino sealed his hat-trick in the 65th minute with Liverpool's second penalty of the game.
Salah deferred to the Brazilian who had scored just four goals in 19 league games this season heading into Saturday's match and Klopp said after the game that he was delighted that Salah let his teammate take the penalty to complete his hat-trick.
“We knew in the second half that the game wasn’t finished, so we wanted to control it,” Klopp told BBC Sport. Mo Salah gave the penalty to Bobby [Firmino] and I almost cried because we all know how much Mo wants to score goals. It was really nice.”Arsenal took the lead through Maitland-Niles in the 11th minute but Klopp praised his side for staying calm and putting the pressure on the Gunners.
“The response [to going behind] was world class,” Klopp said. “We stayed calm and really forced the mistakes. “Firmino’s second when Sadio [Mane] won the ball – wow. It was perfect defending.”
