In a stunning Premier League clash, Manchester United secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Liverpool at Anfield this Sunday. The win marks a monumental end to a 14-year drought for the Red Devils, who had not won a league match at Liverpool’s home ground since 2011.
The match began at a breathtaking pace, with United’s Bryan Mbeumo finding the net in just the second minute, silencing the home crowd. Liverpool pressed for an equalizer, which eventually came in the second half through forward Cody Gakpo.
With the match seemingly headed for a draw, United captain Harry Maguire became the unlikely hero. In the 84th minute, he powered a header into the net from a perfectly delivered Bruno Fernandes assist, securing the three points for the visitors.
The result is a significant boost for United under-pressure manager Ruben Amorim, solidifying their position as genuine title contenders. For Liverpool, the defeat represents their fourth consecutive loss under new manager Arne Slot, increasing the pressure and marking a difficult start to his tenure.
