Liverpool surged back to the top of the English Premier League after a resounding win over relegated Huddersfield.
Mohammed Salah put in a stellar performance to help his team back above rivals Manchester City by two points with two goals.
Jurgen Klopp’s side started on the front foot after taking the lead in just 15 seconds from the start thanks to Naby Kieta sweeping a close-range effort into the corner from a Salah pass. It would also be Liverpool’s 100th goal in all competitions this season.
Sadio Mane, crucial for so long this season, doubled the lead with a trademark header from a cross on 23 minutes.
The game was all but over by the stroke of half-time, when Salah lobbed Huddersfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl assisted by the impressive Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Huddersfield remained quiet throughout the second half and limited to two clear cut chances at the beginning of the second half.
Mane headed in a second header from captain Jordan Henderson’s cross to catch up with teammate Salah on 20 goals for the season.
The Egyptian would go one better, sweeping in and sealing a fifth goal on 83 minutes to a rapturous Anfield.
With the battle for the Premier League crown going right to the wire, all eyes are now on Manchester City. The Blues can regain top spot in the Premier League if they win their game in hand at Burnley on Sunday.
