NSTsports: Liverpool made it an entire calendar year without a Premier League defeat as the runaway leaders beat SheffieldUnited 2-0 on Thursday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side moved 13 points clear of second placed Leicester thanks to goals from Egypt forward Mohamed Salah and Senegal winger Sadio Mane at Anfield.
With a game in hand to further bolster their advantage, it would take an astonishing collapse to deprive Liverpool of their holy grail. This was their fifth consecutive top-flight clean-sheet – the first time they have managed that since 2007 – and they completed more passes than any team in one match in the Premier League era.
Premier League immortality is within touching distance as Klopp’s men are already over halfway towards an unbeaten league season that would replicate the incredible feat of Arsenal’s 2003-04 Invincibles. Their win at Bramall Lane in September had come thanks to a mistake from United keeper Dean Henderson and once again Liverpool benefitted from a Blades blunder.
David McGoldrick tried to drag United back into it with a dipping strike from the edge of the area that Alisson Becker tipped over.
