Goals from Mohamed Salah and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gave Liverpool a 2-0 victory over West Ham.
Liverpool manager doesn’t believe the league is concluded despite having 70 points before the end of January and 19 points clear at the top of the table.
Liverpool are on track to their first Premier League victory in 30 years the last time Liverpool won was in 1990.
Liverpool are now unbeaten in 41 League games and could go on to reach several top-flight milestones.
“I’m only happy about the three points,” he said. “Tonight was a normal performance. I have no idea [if anyone will catch us]. The first target is to get the maximum points – there are still a lot of games.
“Yes we have 70 points, an incredible number, but so many things can happen. I’m not too much concerned about records.
“We had a record at [Borussia] Dortmund and Bayern [Munich] beat it the next season. We don’t feel as though anything is done, I promise you. We take a deep breath and then Saturday it’s Southampton.”
More tears for David Moyes against Liverpool as his poor run against the side continues.
The hosts started well against the visitors for the first few minutes pressing and creating chances and backed by a vociferous crowd inside the London Stadium until a rash challenge in the 18-yard allowed Salah to put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot against the run of play.
Even after going down, the home side kept pressing, a Manuel Lanzini’s close-range shot and Robert Snodgrass’ headed efforts represented good opportunities for the hosts before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ensured a comfortable conclusion to the evening for his side.
“They’re as good as there’s been around,” Moyes said. “It’s very difficult when you’ve been manager of Everton and Manchester United to say that but Liverpool are an excellent side.”
Liverpool were not at their free-flowing form but it was an efficient win for them and sometimes you need this kind of wins to win the league.
Liverpool will next play some Southampton at Anfield on Saturday while West Ham will face Brighton in their next Premier League game also on Saturday.
