With two matches remaining, the Reds rose to their highest-ever point total in the Premier League era with 91 points. Liverpool swatted already relegated Huddersfield Town 5-0 at Anfield.
Regardless of the final outcome, this team continues to set new standards for a club that remains one of the most prestigious in world football. These Reds have now gathered 50 points at home, the most since the 80s, and Anfield still hosts the final match of the season.
Liverpool was all business in securing this result. Jumping to the quickest goal in Premier League history, Naby Keita picked Jon Gorenc Stankovic’s pocket, received the ball back and slotted a goal in 15 seconds. Before half an hour had passed Sadio Mané scored the first of his brace and Mo Salah made it 3-0 before the break.
Still, Liverpool remained hungry in the second half with Mané and Salah each adding another goal. All five goals scored by Africans also accounts for the most scored by a side in a single match in Premier League history.
Another clean sheet for Alisson gives him 20, with two matches to play, equalling Pepe Reina for the most ever in a Premier League season. All that and the side did not work through all their gears.
Milestones continue to mount for this squad. Plus, players returning from injury like Xherdan Shaqiri, Joe Gomez, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all made appearances.
Here are four findings from the match:
