'Liverpool attack like velociraptors in Jurassic Park!'

Liverpool assistant Pep Ljinders has compared their Mohamed Salah-led attack to "velociraptors in Jurassic Park" after seeing them maul Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Reds moved back up to second in the Premier League table with a stunning 5-0 victory over United on Sunday, which saw Salah take home the match ball after netting a hat-trick.

Naby Keita and Diogo Jota also got in on the act as Jurgen Klopp's side laid down an early marker in the title race, and Lijnders has been left in awe by their clinical edge in the final third.

Asked how Liverpool have become such an effective attacking outfit this season, Klopp's No.2 told a press conference: "We're shooting from everywhere! But no, I think it has a lot to do with how the team is playing so you can never judge scoring from just how we move the ball from the back, it's the whole package that creates.

"Our front players constantly get into good positions to score and then the quality of our front three, we said they looked like velociraptors in Jurassic Park and they go for it.
