Liverpool stormed back into the Premier League title race with a stunning 4-1 victory at leaders Manchester United on Saturday.

United looked on course to extend their advantage at the top of the table to ten points when Cristiano Ronald's penalty gave them an early lead.

But Rafael Benitez's side, fresh from their midweek thrashing of Real Madrid in the Champions League, responded in remarkable fashion and left the champions reflecting on the most goals conceded on home turf in 17 years.

The win lifted Liverpool within four points clear of United, who have a game in hand, and left the title race open also to Chelsea, who could level Liverpool on 61 points if beating Manchester City on Sunday.
