Liverpool are on course for a crucial Premier League win against Sunderland.
The reigning champions look set to end the Stadium of Light's incredible run as the only top-flight ground that remains unbeaten after 25 games this season.
Virgil van Dijk broke the deadlock for the Reds midway through the second half by heading home Mohamed Salah's in-swinging corner to beat Robin Roefs.
The Dutchman's opener saw him eclipse one of his predecessors both at centre-back and as captain for the most Premier League goals by a defender in Anfield history.
Sami Hyypiä previously held the distinction for 17 years prior to Van Dijk's effort on Wearside with 22 goals over the course of a decade-long spell on Merseyside.
How priceless could that goal be for Arne Slot's side in their top four bid?
