In a thrilling Premier League clash, Manchester United ended their nine-year wait for a victory at Anfield, defeating Liverpool 2-1 on Sunday. Harry Maguire’s decisive 84th-minute header secured back-to-back league wins for the first time under manager Ruben Amorim, marking a significant milestone in his tenure. The match began explosively, with Bryan Mbeumo scoring for United just 61 seconds into the game. Liverpool responded in the 78th minute through Cody Gakpo, but their defensive vulnerabilities were exposed when Maguire capitalized on a looping cross from Bruno Fernandes to seal the win. This defeat extends Liverpool’s losing streak to four games, their worst run in 11 years, leaving them four points behind league leaders Arsenal. The loss also raises questions about manager Arne Slot’s ability to integrate new signings, having spent nearly £450 million in the transfer market. For United, the victory narrows the gap with Liverpool to two points and lifts them to ninth in the table, easing pressure on Amorim. Maguire expressed the significance of the win, stating, ‘It means everything. We haven’t given our fans enough days like today.’ Liverpool, meanwhile, continues to struggle with form and injuries, compounded by the tragic loss of Diogo Jota earlier this year. The match highlighted their defensive frailties and lack of cohesion, despite their wealth of attacking talent. With this result, United reignites their pursuit of a record 21st English top-flight title, while Liverpool faces an uphill battle to regain their dominance.
