Liverpool FC: On this day
Unbelievably, it is already four years ago, in 2021, that Liverpool spanked Man United 5-0 at Old Trafford.
Mohamed Salah netted a hat-trick to extend his club record by scoring in 10 consecutive Games, with Naby Keita and Diogo Jota grabbing the others on a day that saw Paul Pogba sent off.
It was also Jurgen Klopp‘s 200th win in charge, doing so in a club-record 331 Games.
Of course, Klopp’s Reds went on to beat United 7-0 at Anfield less than two years later – the fourth time in History that they’ve scored five or more against them.
