Liverpool stormed back to the top of the Premier League on Friday by virtue of their 5-0 demolition of Huddersfield Town.
Naby Keita took only 15 seconds to open the scoring on Merseyside - registering Liverpool's quickest-ever Premier League goal in the process - before Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah bagged a tally apiece by the interval.
Mane and Salah added two further goals against their hapless Championship-bound opponents in the second period. Salah now tops the league's scoring charts with 21, while his Senegalese teammate is second with 20 goals.
MOOD.

"It was another brilliant performance," Reds captain Jordan Henderson told BBC Match of the Day post-match. "Teams that have been relegated can be dangerous because they have nothing to lose and they go out and play, but we got a great start. We scored some fantastic goals and kept a clean sheet so it was a good night."
There was more good news for Liverpool with the late cameos of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joe Gomez. Oxlade-Chamberlain almost got on the scoresheet in his first appearance for Liverpool in 367 days, while Gomez was introduced after 88 minutes for his first outing at Anfield since the start of December.
Manchester City can return to English football's summit with a win at Burnley's Turf Moor on Sunday.
