As the dust settles on Liverpool's biggest ever victory against old foes Manchester United, it's time for your LFC morning headlines on Monday, March 6.
Liverpool analysis - Mohamed Salah gets revenge on Lisandro Martinez as Richard Keys proved wrong
Mohamed Salah stood on the halfway line as Anfield, having already celebrated a record achievement, awaited confirmation from VAR.
And when it came, Harvey Elliott was the first player to congratulate Salah with a hug that mirrored the elation of the Egyptian when the youngster was eventually awarded a Champions League goal at Rangers earlier in the campaign.

By notching his second of the afternoon, Salah edged ahead of Robbie Fowler on 129 goals as Liverpool’s leading Premier League goalscorer.
The landmarks didn’t stop there. The Egyptian now has 12 in 12 appearances against United – his favourite opponents and the most goals scored by a Liverpool player in the fixture – and became the first Reds man to net against the Old Trafford side in five consecutive league games.
But the most encouraging aspect for Jurgen Klopp is Salah is once again in the mood. Again, the protection from the officials was questionable, Lisandro Martinez unpunished despite catching the Liverpool man in the face with an elbow first half.
Salah, though, exacted his revenge later on when leaving Martinez on his backside before laying on Cody Gakpo’s second while also claiming an assist for Roberto Firmino’s late strike. If Liverpool are to earn Champions League qualification, the Egyptian will be key.
And with Darwin Nunez overcoming a disappointing first half to notch twice after the break, it was the first time Liverpool had three players score at least twice in the same league game since September 1968. What an afternoon.

'Liverpool 2.0 - the strikeforce awakens' - National media react to Manchester United humiliation
It's not every day that you beat Manchester United, but that is the reality that faces Liverpool supporters this morning.
Fans and pundits alike had gone into Sunday's contest with an air of trepidation, with the in-from Red Devils appearing to have the upper hand by virtue of their league position. But what conspired instead is and afternoon Liverpool supporters will remember for the rest of their lives as Jurgen Klopp's rejuvenated side ran riot in a second half avalanche of goals, that has injected new life into a faltering campaign.
Naturally, the national media has had plenty to say about the weekend's stand-out fixture. Here's a round-up of what they had to say as United are given seven strokes of the cane by Liverpool.
Chris Bascombe of the Telegraph wrote: "Welcome to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool 2.0. The strike force awakens. A new chapter begins with Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez assuming their status as emblems of the next generation, with Mohamed Salah reprising his role as the ultimate goal scoring weapon.
"There have been many performances during the Klopp era of greater importance for title bids than this historic dismantling of Manchester United. There have been many others worthy of exhibits in the club museum as they facilitated European glory.
"But when the day comes for a retrospective on Klopp’s Liverpool career, it is doubtful there will be many so symbolic for a manager seeking to remedy the only glaring omission from his decorated CV.
"Wherever he has coached, Klopp has always built one team capable of reaching its ceiling. He is yet to do it twice at the same club. That is the challenge he accepted when signing a new Liverpool contract 12 months ago, although the expectation then was he could evolve the team so casually and effectively the disturbance would be minimal.
"We are now seeing Salah as a mentor to his young apprentices rather than a rival for top billing, Gakpo a particular beneficiary as Manchester United were submerged under the tidal wave of attacks towards the Kop throughout the second half. Gakpo moved to Anfield two months ago. On Sunday he truly became a Liverpool player."
