Liverpool dominated Hull City as they romped to a 5-1 victory over the newly promoted side.

The Reds had been in good form leading up to the fixture, but as supporters have learned, a slip up can always be around the corner.

This was evidenced early in the season after the Reds beat Arsenal 4-3, and then lost 2-0 to Burnley.

A relentless performance saw Liverpool carve Hull apart, creating 24 chances in total.

This was six more than the next nearest Premier League side on Saturday, Crystal Palace. It was also double the figure Manchester United managed, who also thrashed Leicester.

Liverpool’s creative performance was not a one off, with Jurgen Klopp’s side really finding their groove.

The attacking trio of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Coutinho are among the very best in the Premier League, and Hull City will not be the only defence they take apart this season.
