Comments:

League position: 1st . Liverpool had now scored 101 goals in their 47 games in the Premier League since 1 January 2023 (conceded 52). . They now remained unbeaten in all five of their games so far in this Premier League season that kicked off at 12.30pm (won four). . After 38 games in all competitions, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Darwin Núñez and Cody Gakpo had all scored ten or more goals in 2023-24. It became the earliest part of a season that four more players had scored ten or more goals for the Reds since 1980-81 (31 games). [c/o Michael Reid]
