Luis Díaz, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané all scored as Liverpool outplayed Manchester United on their way to a 4-0 win which put them top of the league
United were a shambles, especially in the first half, their defeat inevitable from the moment that Luis Diaz gave Liverpool an early lead and they were on their knees when Mohamed Salah ran on to a pass from the substitute Diogo Jota to chip home the fourth in the final minutes.
It is now 11 consecutive league wins for Liverpool at Fortress Anfield but perhaps the more revealing statistic is the one that shows they have dropped only one result that has mattered since 2 January – the 2-2 draw at City on the Sunday before last. The talk of the quadruple will not stop – not with them in such rare form, everything coming together for Jürgen Klopp and his players.
United have almost forgotten what it is like to win convincingly or to have a coherent and consistent plan. Ralf Rangnick started with a back three featuring the lesser spotted Phil Jones before hooking him at half-time and switching to 4-3-3. Neither approach worked. The club’s top‑four hopes are a mirage.
