'It's our time': Salah ready to celebrate Liverpool's long-awaited title

"I feel great. Since I came here I said I want to win the Premier League. The city did not win it for a long time. Last year we had a chance but Man City also played really well and deserved it. It's our time to win the league."

Trent Alexander-Arnold opened the floodgates with a brilliant free-kick as Liverpool looked far slicker than in a 0-0 draw at Everton on Sunday in their first match for three months.

Salah doubled the hosts' advantage just before half-time and goals from Fabinho and Sadio Mane after the break rounded off a fine team performance despite the eery atmosphere of an empty Anfield.

"For the first game back at Anfield, it couldn't have gone any better," said Alexander-Arnold.

Jurgen Klopp lamented the fact no fans were in the stands to witness one of his side's best displays of the season.
