Liverpool vs Manchester United
Liverpool move top of the Premier League courtesy of a 4-0 triumph over Manchester United this evening at Anfield. The Reds were on song from the off as first-half goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah put them in command. United had a spell of pressure in the second half, but the home side quickly put the game to bed as Sadio Mane converted Diaz's cross before Salah notched his second with five minutes to play.

WIDE! Alexander-Arnold delivers a dangerous cross into the box from the right flank that travels through a crowd of players and deflects off the leg of Dalot before heading just wide of the left post.

Salah almost breaks through for a second hat-trick against United this season, but Wan-Bissaka slides in to divert the ball away from the forward at the last second.

For once Mane's distribution is poor tonight as he sends Keita away from goal with a loose offload in the United box. The Reds are forced back rather than having a shooting opportunity.
