Liverpool go eight points clear, achieve second-biggest Premier League lead ever

Manchester United in 1993/94 are the only side to better Liverpool's lead, holding a nine-point advantage at the same stage. Incredibly, Sir Alex Ferguson's men boasted the same amount of points, with 31, and goal difference (16) as Liverpool this season under new head coach Arne Slot, as per Premier League stats.

Dominik Szoboszlai's opening goal had been overturned by strikes for the hosts from Adam Armstrong and Mateus Fernandes. But Mohamed Salah brought the visitors level from Ryan Gravenberch's assist and then thumped in an 83rd-minute penalty to clinch the result for Arne Slot's side.
