Liverpool produced an outstanding performance and Mohamed Salah became the club’s top scorer in the Premier League as they dominated Manchester United at Anfield. Despite Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford having missed chances, Liverpool took control of the game before half-time, and went on to score seven goals in the second half. Liverpool’s intensity and firepower, which had been lacking in many games this season, were back in full force. The result puts them just three points behind Tottenham in the race for the Champions League places.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had called for a pivotal week in their season and his players responded with impressive victories against Wolverhampton Wanderers and United. Liverpool’s dominance was highlighted by Gakpo’s two cool finishes and Nunez’s double, while Salah scored one and became Liverpool’s highest Premier League goalscorer. The game ended with a perfect finale, as Roberto Firmino scored Liverpool’s seventh goal in front of the Kop. Klopp could not have been happier with the team’s performance.
