Liverpool piled more pressure on former manager Rafael Benitez with a 4-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park.
In maintaining their current Premier League average of three goals per game, Jurgen Klopp’s side became the first top-flight English team to score at least twice in 18 successive fixtures in all competitions.
Mo Salah’s figures continue to be equally impressive as his double, after Jordan Henderson’s opener, made it 19 goals in as many appearances.
His first was a beautifully-crafted curling shot across Jordan Pickford into the far corner but his second came about after he pounced on a mistake.
With the score at 2-1 after Demarai Gray pulled one back just before half-time, he seized on a calamitous error by Everton captain Seamus Coleman to race the length of the pitch to score.
Diogo Jota lashed a shot past Pickford’s near post, and Benitez - now eight matches without a win and with just two points from a possible 24 - faces a real fight to keep the Everton fans on board.
