Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah both scored twice as Liverpool steamrolled Crystal Palace with a 7-0 victory at Selhurst Park to go six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
The tone was set inside three minutes when Takumi Minamino scored his first Premier League goal, slotting home after some good work from Sadio Mane. The Senegal international (25) then doubled Liverpool’s lead later in the half after Palace’s best spell of the game, netting with a crisp finish.

Firmino (44) added a third just before half time after a lightning counter-attack, before Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson (52) curled a wonderful effort home seven minutes after the break. Firmino (68) then chipped home over Vicente Guaita for his second of the afternoon.
