EPL: Salah, Mane, Matip Score For Liverpool To Thrash Leeds

African trio Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Joel Matip were on target as Liverpool cut the gap on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League to three points with a 6-0 thrashing of Leeds at Anfield.

Salah sailed away at the top of the goalscoring chart for the season with 27 goals in 31 appearances and set up a rare goal for Joel Matip as the Reds registered a ninth consecutive win in all competitions.

Mane rubbed salt in Leeds's wounds with two goals in the final 10 minutes before Virgil van Dijk's header rounded off the scoring.

Attention now turns to Sunday's League Cup final against Chelsea for Jurgen Klopp's men and they remain very much in the hunt for a second Premier League title in three years with a clash against City still to come in April.

At the other end of the table, Leeds are looking over their shoulders as Burnley's 1-0 win over Tottenham cut their cushion over the relegation zone down to three points.

Marcelo Bielsa's men started brightly and could have taken a shock lead when Daniel James slipped as he dispossessed Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

However, Leeds have now conceded the most goals in the Premier League this season with 56.
