- Jurgen Klopp's men remain returned to the summit of the Premier League table after thrashing visiting Man United 3-1 at Anfield

- Sadio Mane opened scoring for the Reds earlier in the game but Jesse Lingard canceled the goal to mark his 26th birthday

- Super sub Xherdan Shaqiri came in and score a brace to power his side to a great win for the hosts

Liverpool maintained their unbeaten status in the Premier League following their 3-1 win over Manchester United at Anfield.

Senegal international Sadio Mane opened scoring for the Reds just after 24 minutes of play after receiving a clinical over the shoulder pass from Fabinho.

The hosts continues to press forward for more goals through their attacking style of play but Jose Mourinho did well to resist their advances.

Jesse Lingard restored parity for the visitors in the 33rd minute after tapping into the net a poor save from Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson Becker in his own 18-yard box.

United boss Mourinho took a bold decision after benching embattled Paul Pogba to give Lingard the chances to justify his inclusion, and he did by scoring to mark his 26th birthday.

Virgil van Dijk tried to put his side back in front in the 62nd minute but his thunderous shot was blocked by United defenders.

Barely 120 seconds after botched Liverpool's attempt, Andy Robertson stopped Maroune Fellaini from nodding his side ahead for the first time in the game.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp introduced Xherdan Shaqiri for Naby Keita in the 70th minute and just three minutes of coming on, the Swiss restored his side's lead in the 73rd minute.

Shaqiri increased his side's tally in the 81st minute after scoring a deflected goal to complete his double in the game.

In spite of going three goals up, Klopp's men never gave up their attacking football as they continued to press for more goals but for David De gea who made some crucial saves for the club.

Mo Salah's long range shot in the added minutes of the meeing went a bit wide from the goal post but his side still enjoyed an impressive win at Anfield and return to the top of the EPL table.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
