A rare goal from Joel Matip made it 2-0 just after half an hour, before another Salah penalty automatically gave the Reds the upper hand before half-time.

Salah was again instrumental in the movement that saw Mane score the Reds' fourth goal 10 minutes from time. Senegal forward added his second in the 90th minute.

Virgil van Dijk scored Liverpool's sixth goal in stoppage time to complete a perfect night for Klopp's men and further threaten City.
