MU and Liverpool both entered the game openly. In the 2nd minute, Garnacho ran down, passed goalkeeper Kelleher and put the ball into the empty net, but the goal was not recognized because of offside. Only about 1 minute later, Szoboszlai had a good chance but he could not beat goalkeeper Onana in the face-off.

 

 

 

The moment Mainoo created a masterpiece

In the following minutes, Liverpool gradually took control of the game and continuously pressured MU . After many efforts, the “Red Brigade” also found the opening goal. In the 23rd minute, Nunez ran for a tactical header, creating conditions for Diaz to volley at close range to defeat goalkeeper Onana. After the loss, MU still struggled to advance the ball and did not have a shot until the end of the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, MU had the first shot and surprisingly it was a goal. Quansah passed without observing, allowing Bruno Fernandes to shoot from the middle of the field. Goalkeeper Kelleher did not have time to retreat and watched helplessly as the ball went into the net.

After the equalizer, MU played more and more excitedly. In the 67th minute, Mainoo made the field explode with a beautiful curling turn into the far corner, leaving goalkeeper Kelleher helpless despite flying at full speed. However, the “Red Devils” could not defend the result.

Salah retained 1 point for Liverpool

In the 82nd minute, Wan Bissaka knocked down Elliott in the penalty area and the referee immediately pointed to the 11m spot to give Liverpool a penalty. On the 11m mark, Salah did not make any mistakes to help the “Red Brigade” leave with 1 point.

With this result, Liverpool cannot reclaim the top spot in the Premier League rankings . Coach Jurgen Klopp’s team has the same 71 points as the top team Arsenal but is ranked lower because of the loss in goal difference (+42 compared to +51). Meanwhile, MU is still ranked sixth with 49 points, 11 points behind Aston Villa in fourth place.
