The Reds roared to one of their greatest-ever victories on Sunday evening,hitting seven goals past their arch-rivalsat a frenzied Anfield. Each of the starting front three ofMohamed SalahCody GakpoandDarwin Nunezfound the back of the net twice andRoberto Firminoadded the final goal with seconds remaining.

It was a truly embarrassing defensive display by the Red Devils, many of whom lost all composure as a second half during which they conceded six goals wore on. As for Liverpool, it was one of the most famous results in the clubs history - and one over-exuberant fan took things too far after Firminos goal.

The supporter entered the pitch and clattered into Robertson, prompting fears the left-back - who was immaculate throughout the match - was injured. Fortunately, Robertson was able to see out the remaining minutes before soaking up the adulation of the Anfield faithful at the full-time whistle.

While Klopp was furious with the fan responsible - who was removed by stewards - for wiping out one of his players, there was soon a beaming grin across his face as he revelled in a truly astonishing result for his side, who have struggled throughout the season but sent an emphatic reminder that form is temporary and class is permanent.

We have shown recently we are on the path back. Its a big win but we need to concentrate on the next game. Im really happy for Mo [Salah]. He dedicates his life to football. He is the first one in and the first one out.

Salah joined Henderson for post-match media duties and added: It is very special to win a game like that. We need to stay humble and win our games. Hopefully, it will give us a big push. Its very special, I cannot lie. To get it today against Manchester United is unbelievable.

The Reds rose to fifth in the table, leapfroggingNewcastle, and will climb into the top four if they win their game in hand onTottenham.
