That was as close to perfect as I can imagine.
Biggest ever premier league win. Clean sheet. No injuries. Great goals. Top of the league. Lovely

I rate Man Utd this season higher than City. They don't have CL football. Can play second team in EL abd still do well.
But. I'm happy as it seems Firmino is back to his pre Covid19 form.
Despite all injuries and VAR abd refs decisions going against Liverpool for most of the the season di far, we are top.
