Liverpool FC: On this day

Unbelievably, it is already four years ago, in 2021, that Liverpool spanked Man United 5-0 at Old Trafford.

Mohamed Salah netted a hat-trick to extend his club record by scoring in 10 consecutive games, with Naby Keita and Diogo Jota grabbing the others on a day that saw Paul Pogba sent off.

It was also Jurgen Klopp‘s 200th win in charge, doing so in a club-record 331 games.

Of course, Klopp’s Reds went on to beat United 7-0 at Anfield less than two years later – the fourth time in history that they’ve scored five or more against them.
