(Liverpool – Manchester United 4-0) Mohamed Salah (29) and Liverpool played around him and humiliated his arch-rival from Manchester. The victory intensifies the fight for the title.
Manchester United manager Ralph Rangnick has turned to the back line with the wings to tackle Liverpool’s attacking arsenal. This reinforced defense was already wide open after five minutes.
Mohamed Salah was played annoyingly easily, with one touch he found Luis Diaz alone in front of goal. There, the Colombian had little trouble giving Liverpool a dream start to settle.
The visitors appeared without a chance and did not shoot any shot on goal in the first half. In midfield, Thiago dictated the match in style, while the offensive line tore up United’s defense with powerful pressure – and ingenuity.
For Liverpool, the second goal was a beautiful kind. In Barcelona it is called tiki-taka, in the Norwegian clicker game. With superb one-touch passes, Salah played alone against De Gea, with Al Masry reaching the double. His first league goal in over a month.
It’s one of the goals this year, Peter Mehry said on TV 2.
After we score the first goal, we chase after the second and third. Salah said after the match that it was a great achievement for us, I hope we can continue in the same way.
Manchester United had scored just five points out of a possible 24 against the top six last season in the Premier League ahead of Tuesday’s game against league leaders Liverpool.
Time and time again, the Red Devils failed against good opposition, with a humiliating 5-0 loss to Liverpool as a bottom point. On Tuesday, they received another lesson from a team they would like to equate to.
Since United’s previous league win at Anfield in 2016, Liverpool have won four games, and four games have ended in a draw. This season ended with a 9-0 overall score against Liverpool against the Red Devils.
They make it easier for us in midfield and in defence. Salah says of the settlements against United this season, we kept two clean sheets here and there.
These United players want the season to end, so they can hide behind the new coach and blame the old coach. A culture of apology permeates the entire club, club legend Gary Neville on Sky Sports.
After 55 minutes, United hit the first shot on target. After substitution of Jadon Sancho and changing the formation, the guests held on better and came to more ends, but only Liverpool were able to outdo the goalkeeper.
First, Sadio Mane made his mark on the scorers list, as the third and last of Liverpool’s attacking squad. Then, five minutes before the end, Salah set his second goal of the evening after once again bypassing United’s defence.
– Our attackers not only score, they work hard in the defensive game as well. Thiago thinks that raises our level.
The victory leads Liverpool to overtake Manchester City and to the top of the Premier League, but with one game more than Pep Guardiola’s men.
On Monday, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez said they did I lost a baby while giving birth to twins. All players wore black mourning ribbons during tonight’s match, and seven minutes later the entire stadium erupted in applause in honor of Ronaldo and his family. The Portuguese was not in the squad for tonight’s match.
