Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane both scored twice as Leeds were hit for six by Liverpool in a dominating display at Anfield.
Salah scored two penalties in the first half and inbetween set up Josip Matip perfectly for a goal after the centre back's buccaneering run forward.
In truth it could have been six in the first half with Luis Diaz particularly unlucky when a shot bound for the top corner was blocked by Sadio Mane.
The Senegal striker scored himself with ten minutes remaining casually stroking home Jordan Henderson's measured square ball.

Mane added to the scoreline in the 90th minute after Illan Meslier had initially denied Divock Origi well and there was even time for Virgil van Dijk to head home a corner to complete an emphatic rout, which did not flatter them in the slightest.
The win leaves Liverpool three points behind Manchester City, but with a superior goal difference and the teams to play again at the Etihad Stadium in April.
