Premier League leaders Liverpool extend unbeaten run to match best ever start

Liverpool's 4-1 victory over Cardiff City on Saturday saw Jurgen Klopp's side match the club's best ever start to a Premier League season.

Mohamed Salah opened the scoring for the Reds, continuing his own streak of scoring against the previous four newly-promoted sides he's played against and marking his 51st goal for the club.

Sadio Mane doubled the Reds lead in the second half, and struck again after Callum Paterson had pulled one back for Neil Warnock's side, while Xherdan Shaqiri grabbed his first league goal for the club since signing in the summer.

The victory was Liverpool's third in a week, having beaten Huddersfield Town in the Premier League and then Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League to move top of Group C in midweek.
