Xherdan Shaqiri, Liverpool overcome Alisson's mistake, add to Man United's woe

Liverpool are enjoying their best ever start to a Premier League campaign, unbeaten in 17 games - the latest a 3-1 win over Manchester United at Anfield.

"I think in general people need a good summer break, sometimes we play for 11-and-a-half months at a time and there is not enough time to rest".

The pair struck up a friendship at Juventus, and were pictured together on Pogba's Instagram amid reports the Frenchman wants to return to Italy after being "humiliated" when left on the bench for United's defeat against Liverpool.

"If Mo Salah or (Roberto) Firmino make a mistake it maybe doesn't get punished because it is up the other end but that is unfortunately what a keeper has to put up with, if they make a mistake it usually turns into a goal".

He said: "I worked hard to be back".

Mourinho's men were finally breached when Mane controlled Fabinho's chipped ball into the box on his chest and volleyed past the onrushing De Gea on 24 minutes. I am still exhausted looking at Andrew Robertson.

"It's tough. They are a team that Lyon has already played against but never beaten".

But despite this, Alisson is regarded as being a key figure in Liverpool's emergence as title contenders because he has also produced big saves at big moments.

The second half followed a similar pattern but it wasn't until Klopp turned to Shaqiri 20 minutes from time that Liverpool found a way through.

Ultimately, it was failure to qualify for the Champions League that cost Mourinho's predecessors Louis van Gaal and David Moyes their jobs.

City boss Pep Guardiola had claimed De Bruyne finished last season "exhausted" after playing 52 matches for club and country, but the 27-year-old disagreed and has been desperate to get back playing.

United briefly broke out to create a threat of their own, Robertson intervening when a cross seemed destined for Fellaini, but the corner came to nothing.

Mourinho managed the Italian side in a two year spell beginning at the end of the last decade. "Of course not. But we can still finish fourth", Mourinho told Sky Sports. They kept on attacking, and with Shaqiri' arrival, United's defense had to crack at some point. But the Swiss needed two deflections, off Ashley Young and Eric Bailly, to take his tally to five league goals for the term.

Liverpool replaced Mane with Jordan Henderson, United opting to swap Lingard for Juan Mata as the home side eased to the victory that lifted them back to the summit.
