Liverpool hammered Leeds United 6-0 at Anfield in the Premier League on Wednesday. With this win, they moved to within three points of Manchester City at the top of the table.Leeds came into the game on the back of a 4-2 defeat at Elland Road to Manchester United. Hence, it was expected that the Reds would win comprehensively, but it turned out to be a cakewalk for them.A brace each from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane and a goal each from Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip ensured three points for the Reds. While Salah and Mane are regular scorers, Liverpool found a rare scorer on the night in Matip.The defender is known for making darting runs from the back to the opponents' box. That was exactly the case against Leeds as well. Matip carried the ball into the final third of the Lilywhites before passing it out to Salah. The centre-back continued his run and found himself in the Leeds box. The Egyptian was quick to return the pass and Matip finished off the move with a brilliant finish over goalkeeper IIlan Meslier.Fans were thrilled by the goal and took to Twitter to share their appreciation for the defender.
