Mohamed Salah scored his first-ever goal against Manchester United as Liverpool demolished the Red Devils with two unanswered goals to continue their phenomenal journey to their first Premier League title in 30 years on Sunday.

Liverpool started the game so fiercely as early as after only fifteen minutes when Virgil van Dijk powered home a header, putting his side ahead.

The goal came when Liverpool earned a right-wing corner, and Alexander-Arnold swung it into Man Utd's penalty area, where van Dijk met the ball and headed it in beyond David de Gea.

Salah doubled his side's lead in the injury time when Alisson passed the ball to the Egyptian international who raced through and neatly finished past De Gea.

The Video Assistant Referee overturned Roberto Firmino's goal due to a foul on van Dijk in the build-up.

The Red Devils wasted a great chance to net the equalizer in the 41 minutes when Martial curled an excellent cross to Wan-Bissaka, who half-volleyed across to Pereira, who missed the ball.

Mohamed Salah missed the target from the six-yard line when he met Andrew Robertson's cross with a wayward left-foot shot in the 47th minute.

Salah's chance was so close to double the Reds scoring and to ensure the victory for the Uefa Champions League holders.

The Reds are now at the top of the Premier League table with a 13-point lead.
