Liverpool beat Manchester United 3-0 on Sunday in what was a statement win. However, this was a statement win in more ways than one. Liverpool showed that they can outplay, outwork and out-think this United team in terms of players, tactics and motivation, but they also asserted their dominance in the transfer market in a lot of ways.

Marc Skinner’s new look side kicked off their campaign with a dominant win. Emillia Hawkins was watching.   14:31 Elsewhere, Brighton have just cruised to a 4-0 win over Everton at the Broadfield Stadium.
