Liverpool FC with coach Jürgen Klopp is again very close to leaders Manchester City in the English football championship.
The "Reds" won their catch-up game of matchday 19 against Leeds United 6-0 (3-0) on Wednesday evening and reduced the gap to the Cityzens to three points - with a better goal difference (+50).
At the beginning of April, both top teams meet in a direct duel.
At the beginning of the year, Liverpool were eleven points behind Man City.
Star striker Mohamed Salah (15th minute) gave Liverpool an early lead with a converted hand penalty.
Former Bundesliga professional Joel Matip increased (30th) before Salah (35th) - this time with a penalty - was successful again.
In the second half, Africa Cup of Nations winner Sadio Mané (80'/90') and Virgil van Dijk (90'+3') scored the final score in Liverpool's sixth league win in a row.
Four days after the last-minute win at ManCity (3-2), Tottenham Hotspur missed another important success in the fight for European Cup places.
The Spurs lost 0-1 (0-0) at relegation candidate FC Burnley and are still three points behind West Ham United in fifth place with two games less.
