Liverpool started their new decade in style after winning 2-0 against Sheffield United on Thursday night, with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane both scoring at Anfield in the Premier League.

Sheffield United presented Liverpool with one of the toughest tests in the first half of the season, and were hoping to replicate that performance, especially after a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in their previous game.

However, the Blades had no answer to the Reds juggernaut, with skipper Jordan Henderson producing yet another outstanding performance. The victory means the yawning gap with Leicester City now extends to 13, with Liverpool having played a game less.

Former great England striker turned popular football pundit Gary Lineker took to social networking site Twitter to express his reaction after the game. Lineker was especially pleased with the performance of the Reds skipper and hailed him as the most underrated player in Premier League history.

Liverpool are 13 points clear with a game in hand. That’s nuts at this stage of the season.
