With the Reds facing three Premier League away matches in the space of a week for only the second time since 2006, it was a perfect start to a very testing seven-day period.

But arguably most important was the strike from Ryan Gravenberch, which gave Liverpool the lead which it would not relinquish.

It was the second time the Dutchman has netted what can be described as the decisive goal (as in the one which gives the team the lead for the final time in a victory), having broken the deadlock against Union SG at Anfield in the Europa League.

More notable was a piece of trivia from Opta, who noted that Gravenberch’s strike was “the first time Liverpool had a Premier League goal both scored and assisted by players aged 21 or younger since November 2014.”

It met this niche criteria because it was set up by Harvey Elliott.

However, the Reds have started six matches this term with an Elliott-End?-Gravenberch midfield and won every time, scoring 17 goals while only conceding three.

The Fulham game was only the second in the league, after the 2-0 win at Burnley in December.

Whether by accident or design, it’s almost as if Klopp has a first and second-choice midfield, not that he’d ever admit to it or label the threesomes as such; Jones, Mac Allister and Szoboszlai as the ideal choice, with Elliott, End? on Gravenberch on hand as a rotation option.

He made a goal contribution in his first three Liverpool starts and the duo of Elliott and End? were also in midfield each time, while both the latter and the Dutchman scored in the win over Toulouse.
