In the derby of the 26th round of the Premier League, the Liverpool team completely demolished their fiercest rival, Ten Hague United, who were defeated 7:0.
Manchester United has not known about a triumph at Anfield Road since 2016, when Wayne Rooney scored a goal for the Red Devils, and they will have to wait for a new victory.
Erik ten Haag’s side arrived at Anfield full of confidence after winning the Carabao Cup at Wembley with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle. However, after tonight’s show in the city of the Beatles, they certainly won’t be doing well.
Liverpool have been struggling since the start of the season, and their results are not even close to some past seasons, but when they play against United, their motivation is certainly not good.
After several chances in front of both goals in the opening 20 minutes, a ‘lullaby’ followed until the end of the first half. It was the 43rd minute when Andy Robertson brilliantly employed Cody Gakpo, who faked Varane and sent the ball unhindered into the ‘small net’ of the helpless David de Gea for 1:0.
As they finished the first half, they started the second half as well. Harvey Elliott assisted Darwin Nunez in the 47th minute to make it 2:0, and just three minutes later Cody Gakpo was the scorer again with a masterful ‘poke’, again checkingmate De Gea.
Eric ten Haag tried to shake up his team by introducing Garnac and McTominay, but he failed. It was the 66th minute when Mohamed Salah, after a real ricochet on the edge of the penalty area, nailed the ball under the crossbar with his weaker right foot for 4:0.
Fifteen minutes before the end, a firecracker went off at Anfield. Darwin Nunez scored with a header after a perfect cross from Jordan Henderson.
Liverpool had no intention of stopping at ‘only’ five goals; they continued to attack, and Mohamed Salah made history with his second goal, and Liverpool’s sixth, in the 83rd minute. Thus, the Egyptian became the best scorer in the history of the club when it comes to the Premier League.
The perfect game of Jurgen Klopp’s company was put to an end by the fans’ favorite, Roberto Firmino, who shook the net in the 88th minute and made the final score 7:0.
With these three points, Liverpool climbed to the 5th position with 42 points and continues the race for fourth place, where Tottenham is currently with three points and a game more than Liverpool. Manchester United remained in third place with 49 points.
