Liverpool reclaimed their spot at the summit of the Premier League table following a commanding 3-1 triumph over Sheffield United at Anfield on Thursday evening.
The Reds wasted no time asserting their dominance as Darwin Nunez broke the deadlock in the early stages of the game. A stroke of fortune saw Nunez capitalizing on Ivo Grbic's mishap, with the goalkeeper's clearance ricocheting off the forward and trickling over the goal line just 17 minutes into the match.
Despite Liverpool's stronghold on possession, Sheffield United managed to level the scoreline shortly after the halftime interval. Gustavo Hamer's header found its way into the net after deflecting off Conor Bradley, providing a moment of respite for the visitors.
However, Liverpool swiftly regained their advantage in the latter stages of the game. Alexis Mac Allister unleashed a powerful strike from the edge of the box, capitalizing on a deflection to put the Reds back in front with just 13 minutes remaining in regulation time.
The victory was sealed in emphatic fashion as Cody Gakpo nodded in Andy Robertson's precise delivery from 15 yards out during injury time, ensuring a comprehensive win for Liverpool.
With this result, Liverpool climbed back to the top of the league standings, now leading Arsenal by two points.
On the flip side, Sheffield United's woes continued as they languish at the bottom of the table, remaining 10 points adrift of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest following this defeat.
