Ahead of the match, Liverpool supporters were encouraged to see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain make his long-awaited return to a matchday squad:

The hosts enjoyed the perfect start when Jon Gorenc Stankovic gave the ball away to Salah and he slipped in Keita with just 15 seconds on the clock.

The goal was Liverpool's 100th in all competitions this season and Keita's third in his last five starts.

Mane made it 2-0 after 22 minutes. The Senegalese forward rose to head home Andy Robertson's pinpoint cross—the Scot's 10th league assist this season—after a driving run up field by Virgil van Dijk.

Salah added a third on the stroke of half-time when he raced onto a ball over the top from Trent Alexander-Arnold and deftly lifted it over Jonas Lossl.

In the second half, Juninho Bacuna and Daniel Sturridge each had a goal disallowed for offside at either end in the space of a minute.

Mane netted a second header in the 66th minute from Jordan Henderson's ball to the back post.

Salah restored his lead over Mane in the race for the Golden Boot in the 83rd minute when he converted Robertson's cross from close range.
