Liverpool bring up a momentous milestone against SpartaScored the 1000th goal in the Klopp eraTook just 476 games to reach the milestoneGetty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?

Since Klopp arrived at Anfield in 2015, Liverpool have been a free-scoring unit, consistently finding the back of the net across competitions. And Thursday evening was no exception as they thrashed Sparta Prague 5-1 in a Europa League last-16 encounter.

After an early penalty, converted by Alexis Mac Allister, provided the Reds with a slender lead, Nunez showcased his striking prowess with a thunderous long-range effort to score the 1000th goal of the Klopp era in just 476 games. Liverpool have been averaging 2.10 goals per game under Klopp and to surpass the 1000-goal mark before his final swansong in the summer will be a special occasion for the German coach.

Klopp has been key to bringing out the best from Nunez, with the Uruguayan forward emerging to be instrumental in Liverpool's recent attacking exploits. His clinical finishing was on display once again as he netted his second goal of the game just before halftime in a similar impressive fashion. With a tally of 16 goals and 11 assists this season, Nunez has emerged as a crucial component of Liverpool's attacking arsenal, particularly in the absence of star forward Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool have now scored in 52 of their last 53 games under Klopp, with the only blank coming against Erik ten Hag's Manchester United back in December 2023.

With Klopp's side currently leading the title race by a single point, the showdown against their closest rivals holds immense significance in their pursuit of Premier League glory.
