Liverpool were in complete control against Leeds as they cruised to a 3-0 victory on a day that saw Jurgen Klopp‘s men add some impressive stats to their name.
The Reds remain unbeaten in 2021/22 to date with the trip to Elland Road keeping Klopp’s side in touch at the top of the table alongside Chelsea and Man United.
Importantly it came thanks to an impressive performance on the pitch, with Liverpool carving out chance after chance to ultimately see the scoreboard flatter the home side.
Mohamed Salah, Fabinho and Sadio Mane were the ones to etch their name on the scoresheet to seal all three points, leading to some notable records and statistics.
