Liverpool blew away Leeds to such a degree at Anfield that Pep Guardiola might have felt their breath on the back of his neck in Manchester. City’s commanding 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League is a distant memory and Jürgen Klopp’s “pain in the ass” are closing in.
The Liverpool manager celebrated this rout with six punches in front of the Kop: one for each goal his rampant team swept past the ludicrously exposed Leeds goalkeeper, Illan Meslier.
