While Liverpool’s defence has been widely praised this season, some question marks have been frequently raised on the form of the attack - especially with the team having very standards last season with a rich haul of goals, but not exactly managing to replicate the same this season so far. The 4-0 win over Red Star Belgrade in Champions League did help ease some concerns, and the form of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in today’s match would have pleased Klopp.

Salah continued his goal-scoring run with his early goal in the 9th minute. The Egyptian now looks close to being back at his best and will look to continue his goal-scoring run. Salah also assisted two goals later in the game, one of which was for Sadio Mane. The Senegalese hadn’t scored in the league since 1st September and responded well to his doubters with two well-taken goals.
