We found Liverpool from last season.

Three days after regaining the lead in the Premier League, the Reds consolidated his leadership position by walking on Crystal Palace, punished 7-0 at home, without even deserving, Saturday for the 14th day.

With 31 points, the title holders are 6 lengths ahead of Tottenham, which receives Leicester (4th) on Sunday.

Against the 12th, Liverpool were obviously favorites, but the match was a real demonstration of JĂĽrgen Klopp's men who scored almost with every shot on target (8 in the end).

Even the coach of Crystal Palace, the experienced Roy Hodgson, 73, who has yet seen others, preferred to laugh by sitting down on his bench after the 7th goal.

We saw a Liverpool at the level of the team that had flown over the championship last season, finishing with 18 points ahead of runner-up Manchester City.

And we especially found Roberto Firmino, author of a double, after his decisive goal against Tottenham in the last minute of regulation time on Wednesday.

A historic success

The Brazilian striker, who struggled physically at the start of the season and was a little eclipsed by the insolent success of the Portuguese Diogo Jota, set the record straight.

It was he who allowed his team to widen the gap, with early goals from Takumi Minamino and Sadio Mané.

Captain Jordan Henderson, with a beautiful enveloped shot, further increased the score, before Mohamed Salah, who entered only on time, scored a double.

This 7-0 is for the Reds the biggest away success in their history in the Premier League.
