Free-scoring Liverpool won a third straight English Premier League game by thrashing 10-man Hull 5-1 on Saturday, with James Milner converting two penalties and its effervescent midfield contributing the other goals. With nine goals in its first two home games, a new-look Anfield is resembling a fortress again for Liverpool under Juergen Klopp. Liverpool's problem in recent seasons has been putting away the so-called weaker teams, particularly at home, but Hull had no answer to the hosts' waves of attacks, especially after Ahmed Elmohamady was sent off in the 29th minute.
