This is going too far, even if they have a reputation for hosting amazing parties in Merseyside.

If things keep going this way, Jurgen Klopp’s resignation from Anfield will turn into the longest farewell celebration in history.

After scoring his first goal for Liverpool, Conor Bradley exclaimed with excitement.

In addition to his penalty, Darwin Nunez made four strikes against the woodwork.

The Liverpool fans did not mince words when they pledged to make his final few months in the city truly unforgettable.

Their reaction to the startling football news suggests that a quadruple might not be such an absurd goal after all.

Not if Chelsea’s stunning loss to the Black Cats tonight is any guide. Still, it helps when your rivals are as simple-minded as the Blues.

And a big thank you to everyone who thought that, because of Mo Salah’s commitment to the Africa Cup of Nations and his subsequent treatment table obligations, they would be at a loss without his firepower.

In five games without the Egyptian, they have scored 17 goals. They also have a right to far more than that.

Tonight there were four; there may have been more; there ought to have been two or more. They flew out of the traps, never looked back, and seemed to be winning.

Charm, refinement, energy, willpower, persistence… The ones in red had all of them, and the men in blue had none.

The goals were scored by Luis Diaz, the legendary Conor Bradley, Dominic Szoboszlai (thank goodness they didn’t sign Moises Caicedo), and Diogo Jota.

Six more players sporting Liverpool jerseys might have scored goals as well, though.

From start to finish, Liverpool was unstoppable, wild and on fire. With the way Klopp glows during games these days, they could use him to light up the city.

However, no one did it quite as well as the youthful Bradley, a right-back making his Premier League debut.

No matter how many games he plays, this kid, who barely left his teens in the summer, won’t frequently have an evening like this one when he does hang up his boots.

Jurgen Klopp commended Bradley for his exceptional work.

When he did eventually take a bow twenty minutes from the end, Anfield was full with people standing and applauding. Rarely has a standing ovation been more deserved.

In a game where heroes were hard to come by, Bradley outperformed every predicted competitor. He had a lovely appearance. He was quite good. There was no stopping him.

Bradley’s toe was the first to steal the ball from an enraged Ben Chilwell in minute 23. The ball was then hammered to Jota just outside the box.

First to score was Diogo Jota.

Jota put himself between Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile by using both of his feet to step. Even with his lucky deflection, the finish was incredibly accurate.

Just seven minutes before the break, the young person from the Northern Irish town of Castlederg in County Tyrone had a night to remember that turned into a night they would never forget.

When Luis Diaz grabbed it in the middle, Bradley quickly moved to the right. He used one touch to create space, then finished perfectly to score the Reds’ first goal.

amazing material. And there would be more, this time in the shape of a midway through the second half header from Szoboszlai, skillfully directed in from the right side.

Dominik Szoboszlai hammered in a superb header.

Darwin Nunez went on a solo mission to smash the record for striking the woodwork, and if he hadn’t, Chelsea’s faces would have been redder than their opponents’ jerseys at the end of it all.

He hit the crossbar or goal post FOUR times in record time, once from the penalty spot after Badiashile’s ill-advised foot led Jota to stumble. He was very good, too.

Darwin Nunez’s day wasn’t going well.

Maybe this is the reason he finally decided to blow this for a game of soldiers with 11 minutes remaining and go to provider, setting Diaz up for the fourth.

Christopher Nkunku gave Chelsea the most meaningless of lifelines as he pulled one barely inside the far post.

They had every right to feel deceived because Virgil van Dijk’s escape with fouls on Conor Gallagher and Nkunku should have resulted in spot kicks for them.

Don’t, however, even for a moment think that Chelsea was unlucky. They were quite lucky not to take a harder thrashing. Who’s game for a party?

Christopher Nkunku rallied to make it 3-1.

The fourth goal by Luis Diaz lit up Anfield.

It was just another terrible evening for Chelsea.
