26 games into the season and very little doubt that the 2019/20 Premier League Champions will be Liverpool.
Sadio Mane came off the bench to score the only goal of the match; which happened to be his 100th goal in the Premier League.
Liverpool have won 17 matches in a row.
They remain unbeaten in the league, picking up their 25th league victory in the 26th round of the Premier League season.
They are on course to finish with over 110 points (112 if they keep up their winning streak). The Invincible season is very much alive.
If two points were awarded for their wins and a point awarded for a draw, this Liverpool side would currently be on top of the league table.
