Premier League: Liverpool Regain Top Spot After 4-1 Defeat Over Cardiff

Liverpool have regained top spot of the table as they continue their unbeaten run by thrashing Cardiff 4-1 at Anfield Stadium.  

Reds were well in control of the game over their opponents which early on the game conceded opening goal to Mo Salah who smashed in the ball after Sadio Mane's shot from inside the area was blocked. 

After an hour of play, Mane doubled the lead with a left footed shot from the centre of the box and Cardiff's Callum Paterson reduced the deficit by deflecting in Junior Hoilett's shot in 77th minutes. 

Late into the game, Salah let a through pass to Shaqiri in the box, he took his time to take out two defenders and drilled a left footed shot to the bottom right of the post, followed by the winning goal from Mane hitting home a pass from Salah. 

Having won the match, they lead with three points over their title rival Manchester City (23 points) which are in second place -they will face Tottenham at home on Monday.
