Liverpool vs Manchester United LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League fixture tonight

Liverpool's charge towards what would be a first league title in 30 years continued as a 2-0 victory over arch rivals Manchester United took them 16 points clear at the top of the table.

Manchester City's draw on Saturday and Leicester's defeat at Burnley earlier in the day handed Jurgen Klopp's side a boost, not that they needed one, ahead of Sunday's game against their old enemies. An early Virgil Van Dijk header was followed by Mohamed Salah's breakaway goal in stoppage time, but the lateness of the second strike did not do justice to the dominance they had in the game.

Liverpool have not lost a league game for 381 days, have lost just one top-flight match in the last 623 days, are unbeaten at Anfield since April 2017 and undefeated in 39 league matches. A 19th title, which would put them within one of United, is seemingly within their grasp and could now be achieved in record time.
