Boss Jurgen Klopp hailed captain fantastic Jordan Henderson after he helped Liverpool inch closer to the Premier League title.

The skipper scored the opener before setting up Roberto Firmino’s winner in Thursday’s 2-1 victory at Wolves.

It moved the Reds 16 points clear of Manchester City and extended their unbeaten league run to 40 games. They have not lost in the top flight for 12 months.

And after the victory at Molineux, Klopp praised Henderson’s impact.

He said: “His goal was incredible and that is just another side of his outstanding shape at the moment. He played an unbelievable game again.

“He was really shouting at everyone, keeping them on their toes, but it’s not about the shouting it’s about what you say.

“He only asks for things he expects from himself as well. We couldn’t be in the situation we are without these kinds of characters.”

Liverpool will move 19 points clear of Manchester City if they win their game in hand at West Ham next week.

They could lose six of their final 15 games and still be crowned champions but Klopp said thinking about any defeats makes him sick.

“I understand 100 per cent what you’re talking about but it’s over when it’s over, not before, so why should we really think about it?

“Only the question... the message ‘you can lose six games’, I could vomit when I hear that to be honest.

“So just let’s carry on. It’s difficult enough: Sunday Shrewsbury, Wednesday West Ham, Saturday Southampton. That’s tough. So we have to find solutions for all the different games.”
