Mohamed Salah was back in the goals as Liverpool thrashed Manchester United on Tuesday night, netting a brace in the Reds’ 4-0 win as he scored his 30th goal of the season.
With Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane also on the scoresheet, the win moved Jurgen Klopp’s side two points ahead of Man City at the top of the Premier League, having played a game more, with Pep Guardiola’s men in action at home to Brighton on Wednesday night. Coming just days after Liverpool’ s 3-2 win over the reigning champions at Wembley to reach the FA Cup final, it means their hunt for the quadruple remains on with six league games remaining.
Klopp surprisingly made just two changes to the side that beat City, with Joel Matip and Jordan Henderson starting in place of Ibrahima Konate and Naby Keita, having rotated his side significantly at Wembley and in the Reds’ previous meeting against Benfica in the Champions League quarter-finals.
