Liverpool thrashed Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield as Mohamed Salah ran riot on Sunday night to break a record.
The Reds put on a “no mercy” display to hand Erik Ten Hag’s team a humbling loss.
Jurgen Klopp’s men secured the big win with two goals each from Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Salah in addition to one from Roberto Firmino.
Salah’s brace and two assists earned him the man of the match, as he was directly involved in four out of seven goals.
