Liverpool 6-0 Leeds: 5 talking points as rampant Reds run riot | Premier League 2021-22

#3 Leeds' woeful defensive record continues

Leeds conceded six against rampant Liverpool.

Liverpool found it too easy to slice through Leeds midfield and defence. Bielsa's attacking line-up backfired, as the Whites struggled to keep hold of the ball during crucial phases of the game. Not only did the Liverpool frontline cause havoc, but the midfield of Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones also applied pressure throughout the game.

The Yorkshire-based side have leaked 56 goals -- thereby becoming the team with the worst defensive record in the Premier League side this season. Despite the absence of Kalvin Phillips, Diego Llorente, and Liam Cooper, experienced campaigners such as Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas failed to step up to the plate.

#2 Liverpool top Premier League goalscoring chart

Liverpool's front three has been on fire this season.

The Reds bagged six goals against a shaky Leeds side to take their Premier League season tally to 70. Jurgen Klopp's forward line has been on a roll, with Salah (19), Jota (12) and Mane (11) contributing more than half of those goals.

With his late brace, Mane became the first player to score at least ten times in each of the last eight Premier League campaigns.

#1 Virgil Van Dijk hasn't lost a Premier League game at Anfield yet

Van Dijk remains undefeated at Anfield.

Virgil Van Dijk joined the Reds in January 2018. The Dutch defender has been ever-present in their backline except for large swathes of the 2020-21 season when he suffered a long-term injury.

Van Dijk has made 162 appearances for the Reds in all competitions since his arrival, out of which 59 have come in the Premier League at Anfield. He remains undefeated in all of them. That is now a joint record for most league games unbeaten at home for a single club in the Premier League era.

Lee Sharpe of Manchester United previously went 59 Premier League games unbeaten.
