Liverpool 6-0 Leeds United Highlights: Liverpool close the point gap to 3 points on Man City after the dominant Reds thrashed Leeds United for six goals

Liverpool close the gap in the table to just three points after a dominant win over Leeds. Things got off to a strong start for the hosts right from the first whistle as Jürgen Klopp’s side put on a determined performance to shake up the title race.

Liverpool 6-0 Leeds United Highlights:  Their persistence would eventually be rewarded after VAR let Mohamed Salah step up to the spot and send Illan Meslier the wrong way for 1-0. As the first half continued, Leeds struggled to handle Liverpool’s various threats from Luis Diaz and Andy Robertson but did cause a scare when Raphina thought he equalised only to be ruled offside.

Minutes later, however, the visitors’ progress was sent backward after Joël Matip finished off a slick move to ease any pressure and another Salah penalty made things 3-0. Coming out after the break Leeds were able to keep the scoreline down for most of the half until Sadio Mané found his scoring touch and Virgil van Dijk added another late on to wrap things up 6-0. The result means Liverpool sit just behind leaders Manchester City while Leeds sit fifteenth.
