Liverpool kept alive their hopes of a top-four EPL finish, after fighting from a goal down to beat Man United 4-2 this morning.

Mo Salah capped the victory with a late goal, to add on to Diogo Jota’s opener and a Roberto Firminho brace.

It was Reds boss Jurgen Klopp’s first win at Old Trafford, and his team’s first victory there in seven years.

The result moves Liverpool up to fifth in the standings…four points off the top four, but with a game in hand.

Another match saw Everton held to a goalless draw by Aston Villa, leaving the Toffees eight points adrift of the top-four.
