Sadio Mane leveled the score 21 minutes later with a sublime finish from an Andrew Robertson set-up. Then, Senegal forward gave Jurgen Klopp's side a deserved lead with a lucky flick from a Roberto Firmino through pass.

As things stand, Liverpool continue to lead the points table with 15 points in the gameweek five. Liverpool are unbeaten at Anfield since April 2017.
