Player Ratings for Leeds vs Liverpool Match: Salah and Jota Score Twice in Massive Victory.

Liverpool secured a comfortable 6-1 victory over Leeds at Elland Road on Monday night, thanks to a brace each from Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota.

The Reds, who have struggled for consistency this season, put in a clinical performance to end their five-game winless streak. Cody Gakpo opened the scoring for Liverpool before Salah added a second with a powerful strike. Luis Sinisterra pulled one back for Leeds but Jota scored his first before Salah finished off a flowing move. Jota then grabbed his second with a well-placed shot that went in off the post, before Darwin Nunez registered Liverpool's sixth from the bench.

Leeds had a few chances early on, with Rodrigo and Sinisterra coming close, but Liverpool took the lead in controversial fashion with Gakpo's goal. Salah added a second soon after, and despite Sinisterra's goal, Liverpool's two-goal lead was soon restored when Jota scored his second. The Reds continued to dominate and added two more goals through Salah and Jota.

Illan Meslier had a disappointing night in goal for Leeds, conceding six goals and making just one save. Rasmus Kristensen, Pascal Struijk and Junior Firpo all struggled in defence, while Weston McKennie and Marc Roca failed to impress in midfield. Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra were bright spots in attack for Leeds, but overall it was a disappointing night for the home side.

Despite the emphatic victory, Liverpool remain in eighth place in the Premier League table, two points behind Brighton. Leeds, on the other hand, are down in 16th place and have seen their goal difference take a significant hit.

Liverpool:

RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold - 8/10 - Picked up two assists in a much easier evening's work than he's usually had this season.

CB: Ibrahima Konate - 6/10 - Guilty of Liverpool's one poor moment of the night. Otherwise untroubled.

CB: Virgil van Dijk - 7/10 - Had no issue winning aerial duels and was generally solid.

LB: Andy Robertson - 7/10 - Robust in defence and managed to break out in attack when needed.

CM: Jordan Henderson - 7/10 - Grabbed the assist for Jota's second. His desire was simply too much for Leeds' midfielders.

CM: Fabinho - 7/10 - Brought down Aaronson on the break for a booking. Broke up play when needed with no Leeds player strong enough to trouble him.

CM: Curtis Jones - 9/10 - Wonderful pass picked out Jota. Very active in defence, making five successful tackles, and breezed past opponents on the break.

RW: Mohamed Salah - 9/10 - Back to his clinical self, taking his PL tally up to 15 this season.

ST: Cody Gakpo - 8/10 - Took up some great posistions, drawing Koch and Struijk out and offering up space to his teammates. Unmarked to tap in the opener.

LW: Diogo Jota - 9/10 - Buzzed around in midfield when out of possession to steal possession, which he did time and time again while showing his clinical side with two goals.

Luis Diaz (81' for Gakpo) - N/A - A long-awaited return from injury.

James Milner (81' for Henderson) - N/A

Darwin Nunez (81' for Salah) - 7/10 - Got in on the act with a good finish late on.

Thiago (85' for Fabinho) - N/A

Jurgen Klopp - 8/10 - A solid night's work for Klopp, who saw some key players return to form while welcoming others back into the fray.
