Premier League leaders Liverpool opened up a 22-point gap at the top of the table after second-half goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson and a Mohamed Salah brace gave them a 4-0 win over Southampton at Anfield on Saturday.
It was Liverpool's 20th successive home win in the Premier League dating back to last season, matching Manchester City's record set between March 2011 and March 2012.
It left them on 73 points from 25 games and needing 21 points from their remaining 13 fixtures to be mathematically sure of winning their first league title since 1990.
Another clinical performance by Liverpool left second-placed champions City, who visit Tottenham on Sunday, with an almost impossible task to retain their title.
Liverpool's 22-point advantage is the biggest of any league leader at the end of a day in English top-flight history, with their latest win pleasing the club's captain Henderson.
