Liverpool fans' celebrations at full-time against Manchester United came with greater conviction than it has for years, writes Phil McNulty.
Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United: Liverpool played sensational football - Klopp
As Mo Salah raced on to goalkeeper Alisson's injury-time clearance, held off the chasing Daniel James and rolled his finish beyond United keeper David de Gea, there was almost a symbolism about the celebrations. There was extra relish in the celebrations as the latest victory, making it 21 out of 22 in the league, came at the expense of such an ordinary United, Liverpool's fans determined to remind those at the other end of Anfield that power has shifted seismically and, on this evidence, for a very long time.
There may even be a sliver of solace in the fact United are still the only club to take points off Liverpool this season - but not much.Liverpool have an inspirational manager in Klopp while Solskjaer looks like he is learning on one of the toughest jobs of all. They have taken a remarkable 91 points from their last 93 in the Premier League, playing 31, winning 30 and drawing one. They have become the first team since Arsenal in 2001/02 to score in their first 22 league games and to paint the picture of the complete team, they have now kept seven clean sheets in the league for the first time since December 2006.
For all the loose talk, it takes some doing and Liverpool's players would not be human if there was not an element of switch-off in the closing weeks once the formalities are completed and when it could be that retaining the Champions League comes into sharper focus.
