Liverpool dismantle Manchester United 7-0 in a historic drubbing
The Reds run riot at Anfield as Salah bags a brace
Liverpool have inflicted a humiliating 7-0 defeat on Manchester United in a historic drubbing at Anfield.
Mohamed Salah scored twice as the Reds ran riot, with Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Roberto Firmino, and Fabio Carvalho also getting on the scoresheet.
The result leaves United fourth in the Premier League, five points behind Liverpool and a point behind Manchester City.
It is the biggest defeat in United's history and the first time they have conceded seven goals in a match since 1931.
The match was over as a contest by half-time, with Liverpool leading 4-0 thanks to goals from Salah, Gakpo, Nunez, and Firmino.
Carvalho added a fifth early in the second half, before Salah completed his brace with a stunning solo effort.
The result is a major blow to United's hopes of finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League.
Conclusion
This was a truly historic night for Liverpool and a humiliating one for Manchester United. The Reds were simply too good for their rivals and the result is a testament to the quality of the team that Jurgen Klopp has built.
United, on the other hand, have a lot of work to do if they want to challenge for the top four. The defense was shambolic and the attack was toothless. It is clear that Erik ten Hag has a lot of work to do if he wants to turn things around at Old Trafford.
