ReactionCurtis Jones: The biggest thing was the energy and determination of the team
Curtis Jones felt Liverpool's intensity all over the pitch was the most pleasing aspect of Monday's 6-1 success away at Leeds United.
The Reds ran out convincing winners at Elland Road in the Premier League, with Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota scoring doubles, along with Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez efforts.
Despite his side producing high-quality goals throughout the evening, Jürgen Klopp's favourite moment was deep into injury time when his players reacted to losing possession by swarming Leeds' ball carrier.
"You can talk about the goals and we scored six, but the biggest thing was the energy and the determination of the whole team," Jones told Liverpoolfc.com post-match.
"We were up against a team that sat deep, so we had to risk the ball a bit more. But we would give away the ball and then the whole team worked their socks off. Happy days.
"It's not been a season the way we thought it would go but we've stuck together as a team and we've got the fans there as well, so we're all as one. There were six great goals, so it was a great day out there."

Read on for the rest of our interview with the 22-year-old as he assesses his own performance and that of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who joined him in midfield for large parts.
On his assist for Jota's first goal…
It was a good run from Jots. The lads know when we've got the ball in the final third, we will try to pick out a pass or [have] a shot on goal. Jots knows me, I know him and I just saw that space and found Jots. It was a great goal.
On making three starts in a row...
I just love the game and I love being around the team and having a chance. I've started three on the spin, so the confidence is high but it's not through the roof. I've still got a long way to go. I'm just taking each game as it comes and I'm happy.
On Alexander-Arnold's display…
We all know about Trent. When he picks up the ball and he's got space, he will pick out a pass. I'm always telling Trent, 'Centre mid isn't the same, you've kind of got to twist, you've got to turn.' But somehow he still finds his space and that's him. He picks up the ball and he sees things that not many around the world see, so fair play to him and I hope it continues.
On going again on Saturday when Nottingham Forest visit Anfield…
We'll forget about this game and look ahead. Forest is a team, again, that's in a position where they're trying to stay up. It's a hard time for them as well, so they will be turning up to give a battle. We're the same as well. It will be a hard game again but we're ready and the confidence is up.
