Liverpool are top of the table after their 4-1 win over Cardiff City.

Sadio Mane's brace, plus Mohamed Salah's strike and substitute Xherdan Shaqiri's first goal for the club sealed a 4-1 victory which was enough to move Liverpool three points clear of Manchester City.

The only blemish for Liverpool came when Cardiff striker Callum Paterson scored a scrappy goal, dashing the Reds' hopes of extending their run of clean sheets in the top-flight at home to 10 matches.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp said, "Very good moments, a lot of very good moments and of course periods where we could've done better, that's how it is. But we played Wednesday, we played today, we had to create and to create and to create and to create - that's really hard work, to be honest, and that makes it so difficult.

"We could've done, of course, better in a few moments. I'm not sure if we could have done because of the Wednesday game, but for your most creative football you need fresh legs and fresh players. But you cannot change a full team because you need rhythm as well. It was a similar game to the Belgrade game, possession-wise it was today a massive number of possession I think."
