Liverpool best we have faced this season - Middlesbrough boss

Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka has labelled Liverpool as the best team the Boro have faced this season.

The Teesside outfit succumbed to a 3-0 defeat to Jurgen Klopp's Reds in a one-sided encounter at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday night.

Adam Lallana scored a brace and Divock Origi netted as the Merseyside club returned to form following a 4-3 loss to AFC Bournemouth and 2-2 draw with West Ham United.

"It was difficult because before this game we have competed against every team we've played," Karanka said.

"But I think they were the best team we've faced this season.

"We tried, especially in the second half with two new players, to press higher. It proved impossible to stop them. I can admit they were much better than us.

"But I can't say anything bad about my players because they gave everything on the pitch.

"Now, all we think about is our important game with Swansea."

Middlesbrough have now played the entire top five this season, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur.
