Manchester United secured their first away win over Liverpool since 2016, with a 1-2 victory at Anfield.
Having failed to win their previous eight Premier League away games, the odds were stacked against the Red Devils at Anfield. However, Ruben Amorim’s men got off to the best possible start, taking the lead after just 62 seconds.
Bruno Fernandes played the ball out to the right to Amad Diallo and the Ivorian slipped in Bryan Mbeumo, who slotted past Giorgi Mamardashvili to score the second-earliest goal in this fixture’s Premier League history.
Cody Gakpo restored parity for the hosts, tapping in Federico Chiesa’s cross with 12 minutes left, before Harry Maguire rose highest to head beyond Liverpool keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili six minutes from time.
The second half was action-packed, with Maguire’s late intervention giving United their first Anfield win since January 2016, while Liverpool lost four games in a row for the first time since November 2014 under Brendan Rodgers.
The victory also means the Red Devils ended a nine-match winless run at Anfield and move within two points of the Premier League holders.
