Liverpool beat Luton to move four points clear at top

Liverpool moved four points clear at the top of the Premier League after coming from behind to beat Luton at Anfield.

Just 125 seconds later Liverpool led as Cody Gakpo nodded in from close range as Alexis Mac Allister fired in a cross from the byeline. Harvey Elliott, making his 100th appearance for the club, rounded off a fine second half when he pounced on a loose ball in the 90th minute to claim the fourth. He named a starting line-up with an average age of 25 years and 68 days - the club's youngest since February 2018 - while Liverpool's bench had five players aged 19 or under, with 16-year-old midfielder Trey Nyoni among the substitutes.

Luton were in League One on that day, 61 places below their hosts in the football ladder and having just discovered they had been saved from administration. Since that trip, the Hatters have dropped out of the Football League altogether and worked their way back up to the top flight. Ultimately, Liverpool's unwillingness to let this game get away from them proved too much for them to handle as they folded and fell to a third successive defeat.
