The hapless Leeds were no match to Liverpool's forward play in the second half too as they failed to create any chance.

Meanwhile, title-chasers Liverpool scored their fourth goal of the match after Mane deflected a cross from Salah in the 80th minute, before scoring his second goal in the 90th minute.

A perfect evening for Jurgen Klopp's side ended with a header from Virgil van Dijk in the stoppage time.

After the win, second-placed Liverpool are just three points behind the Premier League leaders Manchester City. While Leeds slipped further towards the relegation zone with only three points ahead of the bottom three.
