Liverpool player ratings against Huddersfield as Sadio Mane and Mo Salah run riot

Two Sadio Mane headers and goals from Mohamed Salah (two) and Naby Keita saw Liverpool return to the summit of the Premier League with a 5-0 win over Huddersfield .

Keita took just 14 seconds to open the scoring against the top-flight’s basement boys before Mane headed home to make it two.

Salah put the game to bed with Liverpool’s third on the turn of half time before Mane, and then the Egyptian again put the icing on the cake with another headed goal and a tap in respectively.

The win sees the Reds leapfrog Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at the top of the table, but the Citizens have a game in hand over their title rivals.
