January 19, 2020, marked a significant day in the Premier League as Liverpool moved 16 points clear at the top after a 2-0 win over Manchester United at Anfield.
Virgil van Dijk's 14th-minute header and Mohamed Salah's stoppage-time strike sealed the victory for Juergen Klopp's side, who are chasing their first league title in 30 years.
Despite a promising start from Manchester United, Van Dijk was poorly marked, allowing him to head in a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner.
Salah missed a chance from close range just after the interval, but Liverpool's pressure eventually paid off, with Salah scoring the second goal in the final moments of the game.
Manchester United applied late pressure but were caught on the counter-attack, ultimately falling to a 2-0 defeat.
