Jurgen Klopp urged Liverpool to "enjoy the ride" after they swept aside Watford 5-0 to stay a point clear at the top of the Premier League.
Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk both scored twice as the Reds recorded their biggest win of the season following three draws in their last four matches.
Divock Origi, making his second Premier League start of the season, also netted in a comfortable victory.
"We drew against Manchester United and Bayern Munich. I think most teams would wish they had these problems," said Klopp, whose side face Merseyside rivals Everton on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
"But you have to be really stable, you cannot always be sensational. Tonight we were stable and sensational.
