One, two, three, four... stop the count! And count this Liverpool as a top contender for the EPL title

Klopp's outfit seems intimidating. After Man Utd (4-1), Arsenal (4-0) and Porto (5-1 and 2-0), they trashed Southampton 4-0
It's been eight years since Southampton have netted at Anfield, and the drought will continue. On the other hand, the Scousers needed only 97 seconds today to break the deadlock! And once they penetrated into the Saint's vulnerable defence, it was a one-sided game all the way till the end, embellished with as many as four shots in the back of the net.
Ferocious Reds clinched another much-deserved landslide victory, and, ironically, the visitors should be happy with only 4-0 on the scoreboard after the final whistle.
FT: Liverpool 4 Southampton 0.

As we mentioned, it was a genuine blitzkrieg from Jurgen Klopp's side with only two minutes into the game. Robertson and Mane exchanged passes on the left flank, the latter provided Diogo Jota with a perfect cross on the edge of the box and it was 1-0.
Jota added another one later for a brace, but it's difficult to call him the man of the match since the entire Anfield outfit demonstrated tenacious, most gifted possible style and a level of play.
The game was killed even before the half-time break, with baffled visitors trailing by three. Alcantara and Van Dijk added their names to the scoreboard, and, a bit surprisingly, Salah failed to score this time, preferring to assist the other guys in the offence.
Mohamed Salah has now scored or assisted in each of his last ELEVEN Premier League games for Liverpool.

It was the African gem who supplied Jota with a sharp ball for his second, while Trent Alexander Arnold did the same for Liverpool's last goal. That was TAA's 40th assist in the Premier League which makes him the third-youngest player ever to achieve such a milestone (behind Rooney and Fabregas).

Liverpool look intimidating and if they continue like this, the question of whose about to win the EPL seems rather silly, with all due respect for the giants such as Chelsea or Manchester City.
