Liverpool are now back to the top on the Premier League table after their big win over Manchester United on Sunday at Anfied.
With the 3-1 victory from the encounter, Liverpool have regained the top spot with 45 point on the league table ahead of Manchester City at 44 point.
In a game that they largely dominated. It was 1-1 at the break, after Mane had put Liverpool ahead, but Alisson’s mistake allowed Lingard equalise and it was all square.
However, Liverpool continued to exert their dominance in the second half and kept pressing forward, with substitute Shaqiri finally getting the goal late in the second half to put the hosts back in front, before doubling his tally a few minutes later, clinching Liverpool’s first victory over United in nine games.
