    FT: Liverpool 6-0 Leeds. It's all over here at Anfield! What an absolute goal fest. Liverpool score as many goals in the second half as they did in the first. A Mane brace followed by a Van Dijk header added to Salah's two penalties and Matip's goal. Leeds are known for conceding in games but tonight was really poor from them. They'll be "marching on together" back to Yorkshire embarrassed. Thanks for joining us this evening and see you again soon!

    GOOOOAAAAL FOR LIVERPOOOL! And that's 6! Van Dijk with a thundering header past Meslier. Disgraceful marking from Leeds allows the most dangerous man in the box to have a free header.

    Business as usual here as Liverpool are dominating the ball.

    Not surprised Bielsa has made two changes at half time. Leeds need something different for the second half. With the introduction of Roberts and Shackleton it looks as though Bielsa is changing his shape to a more attacking one.

    45+2: Firpo clears off the line to deny a Salah hat-trick! Alexander Arnold plays a beauty of a long pass to Salah in behind the defense. The Egyptuian's 1 on 1 with the keeper and he scoops it over him. The ball is destined for the back of the net only for Firpo to rush back and clear!

    2 minutes added.

    Free kick punted into the box. The ball is headed down and lands at the feet of Fabinho. He has half of the goal gaping but fires wide! Bad miss it has to be said.

  • 30 '
    GOOOAAAL FOR LIVERPOOL! Matip of all players! The centreback starts the attack, plays it to Salah, who holds the ball whilst the big man carries on his run. Salah slides Matip in behind and he finishes tastefully past Meslier.

    Leeds struggling for a foothold.

    That should be 2! Diaz absolutely skins Dallas on the left and sprints into the box. The angle is tight but he tries his luck anyway. Meslier stops it. If he'd looked up, Salah was there for a tap in!
  • 21'
    Liverpool in charge here. This time Mane tries a chip ball through to Robertson but he can't reach it before it goes out for a goal kick.
