Liverpool vs Man Utd: The quickest English title wins within reach for Klopp's men Four teams have won the English top-flight title with five games to spare and Liverpool are threatening to get there even quicker.
Liverpool's procession towards their first title in 30 years continued with a hard-fought win over Manchester United at Anfield. A win that extended their lead at the top of the table to 16 points with a game in hand.
Jurgen Klopp's side were the superior side but faced late United pressure as they defended Virgil van Dijk's 14th-minute header before wrapping up the win in style in injury time - goalkeeper Alisson's long clearance setting Mohamed Salah clear to spark wild celebrations among supporters now convinced that long wait is coming to an end.
Liverpool could have emphasised their superiority as Roberto Firmino had a goal contentiously ruled out by VAR for Van Dijk's foul on David de Gea, while the United keeper touched Jordan Henderson's shot on to the post and Salah missed an open goal from six yards.
