Liverpool moved 19-points clear at the top of the Premier League table last night.

Mo Salah scored from the penalty spot and provided the assist for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal which secured a 2-nil win away to West Ham.

The defeat leaves West Ham outside of the relegation zone on goal difference alone.

Liverpool have now beaten every team in the Premier League this season, but their manager Jurgen Klopp is just living in the moment; "I take it like it is because if it would be easy to win this amount of games and have this number of points so many other teams would have done it, it's just really incredibly difficult".

Elsewhere, Manchester City endured a nervy night and a defeat at the hands of their neighbours before booking their place in the Carabao Cup final.

A first half strike from Nemanja Matic gave Manchester United a 1-nil win at the Etihad.

But City won 3-2 on aggregate to set up a Wembley date with Aston Villa.

Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes will complete his move from Sporting to Manchester United today.

The Portugal international will cost United 55-million euro, but that fee could extend to 80-million depending on various bonuses.
