Comments:

League position: 1st Naby Keita's opening goal was timed at 15 seconds. It became Liverpool's quickest-ever goal in the Premier League. The quickest goal in the club's history is thought to have been scored by Paul Walsh against West Ham United on 27 August 1984 in League Division One after 14 seconds. [c/o LFChistory] The Reds had now won ten consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since May 2006 (11 games). They were now also unbeaten in their last 19 games in all competitions for the first time since March 1996 (20 games). With two games still to play, they had now created a new club record of taking 91 points in a Premier League season. The most points that a team had accrued in a completed Premier League season without winning the title was 89 by Manchester United in 2011-12. They had now also taken 50 points in home games in a Premier League season for the first time. Sadio Mané had now scored 11 goals in his last nine Premier League appearances at Anfield. This was Mohamed Salah’s 100th appearance for Liverpool. He scored his 69th goal to break the club record for the most goals in the first 100 games (previously 68 by Sam Raybould and Roger Hunt). The Reds had now won 50 games at Anfield in the Premier League by a margin of four or more goals.

Comments:

League position: 20th Huddersfield Town had now taken four points from their last 23 games in the Premier League. The Terriers equalled their club record of eight consecutive league defeats which was set set as recently as January 2019. Town had now also lost seven consecutive away games in the top division for the first time since December 1955 in League Division One (eight games). They had now conceded 21 goals in their last six games in the Premier League. Huddersfield Town had now lost all 11 games in the Premier League against the big six teams this season (scored three, conceded 35). Juninho Bacuna had now lost all 16 games he had started for the Terriers during this season. This was the fourth time that the Terriers had conceded five or more goals in a game in the Premier League (played 74). They had now conceded four or more goals in four of their last six games in the Premier League. Town had now failed to score in 19 of their 36 games so far in this Premier League season; the most in the division.
