Mo Salah was on the mark yet again as the Premier League leaders stretched their unbeaten run to 18 matches – and keep the gap at the top to six points. Ipswich’s plan to stifle Arne Slot’s men was undone after only 11 minutes when Dominik Szoboszlai scored his first goal at Anfield since March.

And after the visitors had seen Sam Burns carried off on a stretcher with a serious injury, Salah lashed home his 23rd goal of the season before Cody Gakpo killed the game by adding a third before half-time. The Dutchman then scored his second of the afternoon after the interval to make it 4-0 before a late consolation from Jacob Greaves.

It was another tough afternoon for the Tractor Boys who shipped six to Manchester City a week ago and will be relieved their next fixture is at home to Southampton. But the Liverpool juggernaut marches on and a year after Jurgen Klopp’s bombshell announcement he’d be leaving, you will get few disputing the Merseysiders are clear favourites to be champions, particularly with a game in hand over second-place Arsenal.

Mohamed Salah was among the scorers as Liverpool eased to a 4-0 victory over Ipswich. Dominik Szoboszlai scored Liverpool's opener with a well placed finish after 11 minutes. Cody Gakpo scored in the second half as Arne Slot's side maintained the lead at the top.

Such is the strength in depth Arne Slot has available, last weekend’s two-goal hero Darwin Nunez was on the bench again despite Diogo Jota being injured. Cody Gakpo signalled the home side’s intentions by firing the first shot narrowly over after 45 seconds and Ipswich’s wish to stay compact with England international Kalvin Phillips bolstering the midfield always looked fragile.
