Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah were on target as Liverpool eased to a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Anfield to cut the gap to leaders Tottenham to three points.
Jota converted the opener from close range in the first half and celebrated with a show of solidarity to Luis Diaz, holding up the absent winger's shirt following the news of his parents' kidnapping in Colombia.
Nunez scored a well-worked Liverpool second a few minutes later, turning home Dominik Szoboszlai's cut-back after the midfielder had been played in by Salah on the right-hand side of the Forest box.
The Egyptian added the third in the second half after an error from Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner, who came racing out of his box only to fail to cut out Szoboszlai's long pass, with Salah taking full advantage to score his 10th goal of the campaign.
Forest's only chance of note saw Anthony Elanga strike the crossbar in the closing stages but the victory was never in any doubt for Liverpool, who celebrated a third win at Anfield in the space of a week following the games against Everton and Toulouse.
