Reuters, LIVERPOOL, EnglandGoals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane on Thursday helped English Premier League leaders Liverpool restore their 13-point advantage at the top of the table as they saw off a valiant Sheffield United 2-0 at Anfield. Mane tapped in from close range on 64 minutes after his original effort had been saved to secure a victory that marked Liverpool being unbeaten in the top flight for a year. Juergen Klopp’s side have 58 points from 20 games — a feat only matched by Manchester City’s 2017-2018 title-winning side — while Sheffield United sit eighth, seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. When we played them at our place, we laid a glove on them and made it difficult, but they won every first ball, dropped on every second ball, ran forward and ran back. They did that miles better than us.”“They still had the humility and desire to do all that as world champions, as European champions and they’re well on their way to being Premier League champions,” Wilder added.
