Liverpool largely dominated Leeds (6-1) on Monday in the last match of the 31st day of the Premier League, to continue to believe in a possible qualification for the Champions League.

Striker Cody Gakpo opened the scoring (35th) after an ideal serve from Trent Alexander-Arnold, just before Mohamed Salah doubled the lead (39th) at the conclusion of a counter flash. Luis Sinisterra reduced the score at the start of the second period by stealing the ball from the feet of Ibrahima Konaté, at fault on the spot (47th). But that did not stop the red machine, which increased the score by Diogo Jota (52nd, 73rd), Salah again (64th) and Darwin Nunez (90th).

Thanks to this success, which ends a series of four games without a win, the Reds are eighth (47 points) nine points behind Newcastle, surprising fourth and therefore the last provisional holder of a ticket to access the C1. Jürgen Klopp’s players are still far from it, but their offensive demonstration of the evening – against the sixteenth in the English championship, of course – proves once again how formidable they can be.

Another reason for hope: their affordable calendar. The match against Tottenham on April 30 (5:30 p.m.) at Anfield will be the only one against a club used to European places. The Liverpuldiens have just drawn against leaders Arsenal (2-2) and Chelsea (0-0) after losing against Manchester City (4-1). Before that, the club’s last league victory was an attacking orgy comparable to that of the evening, this time against the hated neighbor: Manchester United (7-0).
