Liverpool brought Manchester United's bandwagon to a shuddering halt as Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah all scored twice in a record 7-0 hammering of their arch-rivals to boost their Premier League top-four hopes at Anfield on Sunday.
With United in disarray and losing their heads Salah got in on the act to rifle in his side's fourth in the 66th minute and Nunez then sent a header past helpless goalkeeper David De Gea in the 75th. But there was still more to come.
Roberto Firmino then came off the bench to send Juergen Klopp's side into seventh heaven although by that stage most of United's army of followers had headed for the exits. United's sobering defeat, described by Sky Sports pundit and their former defender Gary Neville as a 'disgrace', left them in third place on 49 points and surely out of the title race. They are 14 points off leaders Arsenal, who have played a game more.
"It was a fantastic day for everyone," Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson told Sky Sports. "The performance level from every single player was top quality today which is something that we've been missing for a while of course.
