Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday.
The Reds started the day in second place, behind on goal difference to Manchester City, who had played a game more.
The pressure was on Jurgen Klopp’s side to answer their critics and they did just that in confident fashion.
Sadio Mane scored in his fourth consecutive fixture to give Liverpool the lead with a well-guided header midway through the first half.
Gini Wijnaldum doubled the advantage ten minutes later as he netted a perfectly executed lob over Cherries goalkeeper Artur Boruc.
Top scored Mohamed Salah all but confirmed all three points with a clever finish after good work from Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino in the build-up.
Anfield was in good voice as the Reds returned to the summit of the Premier League - with Man United at Old Trafford to come next in the league.
Before that, Liverpool face Bayern Munich at Anfield for the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie in ten days time.
