Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister were taking nothing for granted despite firing Liverpool 13 points clear at the Premier League summit.

The Dutchman has also guided the Reds into the Round of 16 in the Champions League and to next month's Carabao Cup final, where they will lock horns with a Newcastle side who will be out for revenge and with Isak back in tow.
