Mohamed Salah scored for the first time since
'Boxing Day' and January signing Cody Gakpo bagged his first
goal for the club as they snapped a four-game winless run and
earned only their second win in eight games in all competitions.
"It was a massive relief," Klopp said. "The performance was a
statement for us that we can do this ... It was the best game
for a while.
"We have to carry on. To get out of our situation and to bring
consistency, we need performances."
Liverpool, last year's runners-up, climbed to ninth with 32
points. They trail fourth-placed Newcastle United by nine before
Saturday's trip to St James' Park.
Klopp said Liverpool had played like their true selves against
Everton but that they had to keep delivering that level of
performance.
"It felt like us, it looked like us," Klopp said.
"It was a really important night. It gave us all the signs that
was us tonight, and now we have to make sure it is us from now
on."
