Liverpool Thrash Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield
Liverpool delivered a stellar performance, with Mohamed Salah becoming the club's top scorer in the Premier League, as Manchester United were outclassed at a boisterous Anfield.
The Reds took charge of the close game in the 43rd minute when Cody Gakpo finished off a perfect pass from Andy Robertson. United's revival under manager Erik ten Hag was brought to a halt by a overpowering rout.
After the break, Liverpool continued to dominate, with Darwin Nunez heading in Harvey Elliott's driven cross, Salah lashing a finish past David de Gea, Nunez flashing another header in from Jordan Henderson's cross, and Salah scrambling in the sixth, making him the highest Premier League goalscorer for Liverpool with 129, surpassing Robbie Fowler. Roberto Firmino rounded off the game with the seventh.
This was the biggest win in the history of the fixture, surpassing Liverpool's 7-1 victory in the 1895-96 Second Division. The Reds are now only three points behind Tottenham for the Champions League places, with a game in hand.
Jurgen Klopp's team, which has been below par for much of the season, delivered intensity and firepower in the most spectacular way possible.
