Jordan Henderson and Mohamed Salah insisted Liverpool will not look beyond the next game after increasing their lead of the Premier League to 16 points by beating Manchester United 2-0.
Virgil van Dijk’s early header marked a dominant opening 45 minutes for the Reds at Anfield on Sunday, but the hosts were made to dig in by their rivals during the second half.
Salah sprinted clear from an Alisson Becker assist in stoppage-time and slotted a finish past David de Gea, however, to guarantee a 21st win from 22 league games this season.
“The thought came to my mind that I would not score today but I came back mentally, I prepared myself, to keep calm,” the Egyptian, who had sent a big chance wide earlier in the contest, told Sky Sports.
