Liverpool came from behind to beat Luton Town 4-1 at Anfield on Wednesday night and restored their four-point lead at the Premier League summit.
Unexpectedly Luton took the lead in the 12th minute, as Tahith Chong's shot from a tight angle slipped under Caoimhin Kelleher and bounced to the far post, where Ogbene headed it into an open goal.
The hosts struggled to break through Luton's press and a lack of clinical finishing in transition left them trailing by a goal at halftime.
In the second half, the Reds intensified their efforts, stifling the visitors and swiftly overturning their deficit.
Two goals within a mere 125 seconds saw Alexis Mac Allister providing set-ups for Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo to score close-range headers.
Luton's bold approach eventually backfired as Liverpool capitalised on a transition, with Luis Diaz scoring a third midway through the second half.
Harvey Elliot sealed the victory with a fourth goal in the 90th minute.
Despite the absence of several key players due to injuries, Jurgen Klopp's team secured the win, solidifying their position at the top of the table. They are now four points clear of second-placed Manchester City and five ahead of third-placed Arsenal, both of whom have a game in hand.
Luton, holding onto the 18th position, shares the same points with Everton in 17th place.
