Reds’ no. 8, Naby Keita has found a new lease of life in the recent weeks and continued his form when he fired the home-side to a quick lead; a well taken right-footed finish from the edge of the box into the left bottom corner after capitalizing on the mistake by visitors’ rearguard.
After the breaking of deadlock, the hosts ran rampant and continued to dominate every area, eventually clinching the 3-0 advantage at half time thanks to the goals by Sadio Mane and Mohammed Salah. The full-backs, Trent Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson, were both instrumental in the goals providing remarkable assists to the frontline.
The goals didn’t stop in the second half as both the Egyptian King and the Senegalese Legend doubled their goal tallies on 66th and 83rd-minute respectively. However, the moment that illuminated the victory was seemingly the return of Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain which could prove to be a substantial boost for the Reds in the closing weeks of the 2018-19 campaign.
The Anfield club refused to throw in the towel in the intense title slugfest and it was indeed a record-breaking night for Klopp’s men. Let us take a look at the five records which Liverpool set on matchday 36.
