Liverpool once again shifted the pressure back on title top rivals Manchester City as they made it back to the top spot of the Premier League with an amazing victory inside Anfield over bottom-club Huddersfield.

Jurgen Klopp's side are now two points clear of the reigning champions, who have a game in hand, with Naby Keita's goal after 15 seconds setting the tone for a dominant display.

Winning possession high in Huddersfield territory, the Guinea midfielder swept a close-range effort into the bottom left corner from Mohamed Salah's pass to record the Reds' quickest ever goal in a Premier League match.

It also represented Liverpool's 100th goal in all competitions this term, and they doubled their lead when Sadio Mane glanced Andrew Robertson's superb cross into the bottom right corner.

Salah then lobbed Town goalkeeper Jonas Lossl on the stroke of half-time to deliver a third.

Mane headed in his second from Jordan Henderson's cross to briefly become the Premier League's joint-top scorer, on 20 goals.

However his Egyptian team-mate, Salah, regained that honour, converting from another Robertson delivery in the closing stages to move on to 21 goals, sealing a fine team performance.
