# Virals: Liverpool stars take to Twitter to celebrate historic victory

Victories over your arch-rivals are always memorable occasions that live long in the memories of supporters.

Despite recent superiority over their greatest competitors in Manchester United, Jurgen Klopp’s [Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/24/pundit-predicts-stalemate-as-liverpool-face-manchester-united/) side have [struggled to show their teeth](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/klopp-record-liverpool-man-utd-24101909) in matches at Old Trafford.

That all changed on Sunday afternoon as the Reds [swept aside a disjointed home side](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/24/manchester-united-0-5-liverpool-player-ratings-from-old-trafford) with five unanswered goals.

In the aftermath of the thumping success, Liverpool’s key men took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/VirgilvDijk/status/1452365748261859335) to celebrate.

Goals from Naby Keita and [Diogo Jota](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/12/virals-diogo-jota-sent-home-early-from-international-duty/) set the visitors on their way before that man Mohamed Salah struck a hat-trick – the [first player to do so](https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/1452314009827520513) in the Premier League at Old Trafford.

The Egyptian took a personal tally to 10 league strikes, [three ahead of Jamie Vardy](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/top-scorers) as well as adding five assists.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

What a day.

Previous visits to Manchester have left Kopites wondering what might’ve been having struggled to capitalise on their [dominance](https://www.givemesport.com/1577593-liverpool-overtake-manchester-united-as-the-most-successful-club-in-england) as an overall side.

This was nigh on the [complete performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLxmuh6wCVY) from Liverpool and one that will once again stamp their authority on what looks to be an enthralling title race.

Klopp’s men will now [face Preston North End](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/match/2021-22/men/fixtures-and-results) in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday before welcoming Brighton & Hove Albion to Anfield on Saturday.
