Liverpool beat United and took the lead

Liverpool are unstoppable towards an unprecedented quadruplet in England. A Manchester United in the picture, without Cristiano Ronaldo after losing one of the baby twins shortly after birth, is easily the victim of the laziness and ambition of some ‘red’ (4-0) Premier leaders waiting for Manchester City, now with two points less, to play tomorrow under the maximum pressure of their pending match against the Etihad also against Brighton.

United faced the great classic of English football without Cristiano, Varane, Fred, Varane and in the 10th minute they also lost Pogba. Ralf Rangnick wanted to strengthen the defense, his Achilles heel, which gave Phil Jones a surprise entry as third central defender and he lined up two right-backs: Wan-Bissaka and Dalot.

United makes water

But the invention was broken before the devastating start of a Liverpool that prevailed over United with disgusting pressure in the first 20 minutes of top-quality football, with Thiago Alcantara as its greatest opponent.

The 1-0 took just 5 minutes to get into the scoreboard on Liverpool’s first arrival. It was a deadly opponent caused by Mohamed Salah, who dragged Dalot, who played on the left, in the middle. Sadio Mané put a great ball deep into the Egyptian, whose killer pass only had to be pushed by Luis Díaz into the net from close range.

One minute of applause for Cristiano after 1-0

Two minutes later, in the 7th minute, fans put aside their rivalry and offered a minute of applause to Cristiano, who was accompanied by Jürgen Klopp himself, while Anfield sang ‘You’ll never walk alone’.

Soon, United, with no power to cross the half line, lost Paul Pogba and Salah made it 2-0 after a great assist from Mané left him alone against to De Gea. Premier’s ‘Pichichi’ scored his 21st goal, though he hasn’t done so since Feb. 15 (11 games).

From 0-5 in the first round to 4-0

Anfield believe the 0-5 first round at Old Trafford could be repeated and there is little missing. Liverpool continued to be more superior and did not let United finish once in the first half, but after the break they preferred to retain more control over the ball.

However, Alisson prevented United from getting into the game by covering Marcus Rashford one-on-one after a good ball in the gap by Jadon Sancho, who came in for ineffective Phil Jones at half-time (64 ‘) .

Sentence

But Liverpool refused and soon after were sentenced to a counterattack by Mané, who determined the pass from Luis Díaz with an accurate cross shot (68 ‘). The Senegalese, Colombian and Salah scored a goal and provided an assist, the perfect symbiosis of the Liverpool forward before the Egyptian, who scored a hat trick at Old Trafford, sealed his brace with a pass into space from Jordan Henderson. before De Gea (85 ‘) left.

Liverpool are determined to keep the pulse on City for the Premier with six games remaining while United, fifth, three points behind Tottenham (4th), see their qualification for the Champions League at risk a bit.
