Liverpool showcased their attacking prowess as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, continuing their perfect start to the season. Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz were the stars of the night, leaving Erik ten Hag’s team struggling to keep up.
The match began with high intensity as Liverpool thought they had taken an early lead through Trent Alexander-Arnold in the 7th minute. However, the goal was disallowed by VAR. Despite the setback, Liverpool remained in control, exploiting the gaps left by Manchester United’s midfield, particularly around Casemiro, who had a night to forget.
The breakthrough came when Salah set up Diaz to score the opener with a brilliant finish. Liverpool’s relentless pressure paid off again just minutes later, as Diaz dispossessed Casemiro and worked a quick exchange with Salah, who delivered an impressive cross with the outside of his boot. Diaz finished with precision, making it 2-0.
In the second half, United manager Erik ten Hag replaced Casemiro with Toby Collyer, making his Premier League debut. Collyer made an impact by assisting a chance for Joshua Zirkzee, whose shot was saved by Alisson.
However, United’s struggles continued. Alexis Mac Allister overpowered Kobbie Mainoo, setting up a counterattack that ended with Salah scoring Liverpool’s third goal.
With this defeat, Manchester United has now suffered back-to-back losses, increasing the pressure on Ten Hag as they head into the international break.
