Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been named the coach of the month for May.

Klopp guided Liverpool to five victories in the month thereby securing a Champions League spot by finishing third in the league table.

The month began with a 2-0 home win over Southampton, followed by a 4-2 win over  Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Goalkeeper Alisson then headed in a last-gasp winner at West Bromwich Albion before the Reds earned another away victory over Burnley and beat Crystal Palace in their last match.

Klopp has now won nine Barclays monthly awards, moving level with Manchester City's Pep Guardiola.

Only Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and David Moyes have picked up more in the competition's history. 

Klopp beat Moyes to May's accolade, along with their fellow nominees Mikel Arteta and Marcelo Bielsa.
