Leeds hopes for survival took a massive hit last night, as Liverpool piled on the misery in front of a jam packed Elland Road. The scene was reminiscent of the final chapter of Bielsa's reign, as goals flew in from all directions, and a look of bewilderment and disorientation over the faces of the players in White.

Klopp's side were two up by half time, courtesy of Gakpo and Salah; but nothing prepared them for what lay ahead, though it started so well! A couple of minutes into the second half, Sinisterra caught Konate napping, dispossessed him, and fired home from close distance. This was the shot in the arm the hosts desperately needed, but all to soon the effects wore off when Jota restored their two goal advantage five minutes later.

By this point, Liverpool were totally dominant. Had this been a boxing match, the ref would have stopped proceedings a long time ago. A Kristensen goal line clearance (after Meslier was lobbed) and a VAR decision that actually went in Leeds favour, spared their blushes further, before Salah grabbed his brace on 64 minutes.

Jota, who hadn't scored for over a year, grabbed his second and Liverpool's fifth on 73 minutes, and when Nunez grabbed their sixth in stoppage time, it must have come as a relief when the final whistle blew, and were rightly booed off the pitch.
