Manchester United had no response to Liverpool’s relentless attack, suffering a disappointing defeat
at Old Trafford. The match began with high intensity, as Trent Alexander-Arnold appeared to give Liverpool an early lead within 7 minutes, only for VAR to disallow the goal.
Despite the goalless start, Liverpool dominated the game, capitalizing on the gaps left by a struggling Casemiro. The breakthrough came when Mohamed Salah set up Luis Díaz, who opened the scoring with style. Just seven minutes later, Díaz added to United’s woes by dispossessing Casemiro, exchanging passes with Salah, and finishing off a brilliant move with an exquisite first-time strike.
At half-time, Toby Collyer replaced Casemiro, making his Premier League debut. He quickly made an impact, heading down a ball for Joshua Zirkzee, whose shot was saved by Alisson. However, United’s troubles continued as Kobbie Mainoo was overpowered by Alexis Mac Allister, leading to a swift counterattack and a trademark cool finish from Salah.
