Liverpool run riot to thrash 10-man Hull with James Milner brace

An irrepressible Liverpool ran riot in a 5-1 win against a hapless and helpless 10-man Hull as the goals continued to rain in at Anfield.

James Milner scored two penalties, the brilliant performances of Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana were both rewarded with goals, while Sadio Mane was also on the scoresheet as substitute David Meyler converted the visitors' only real chance.

It is early days but nine goals in two home appearances suggest the players are no longer impaired by fans' expectation and the new-look old ground is starting to resemble a fortress again.

Of course much of that has to do with the mentality created by Jurgen Klopp.
