In a commanding performance, Liverpool secured a resounding 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, reinforcing their perfect record in the Premier League this season.
Luis Diaz emerged as the star of the match, scoring two goals, while Mohamed Salah added a third to sink a struggling United side.
The match began with intensity, as both teams showcased an eagerness to assert themselves. United initially looked promising in attack, but their momentum quickly dissipated as Liverpool found their rhythm.
A potential early goal from Liverpool was ruled out for offside, but the Reds soon struck gold in the 26th minute when Diaz headed home from close range after a well-worked move involving Ryan Gravenberch and Salah.
United’s troubles compounded shortly afterward when Casemiro, a crucial figure in their midfield, squandered possession yet again. Diaz capitalized on the miscue, finishing smartly after another assist from Salah, doubling Liverpool’s advantage before half-time.
At the break, United manager Erik ten Hag made a tactical change, substituting Casemiro for the youthful Toby Collyer, but the switch failed to invigorate the home side. Liverpool continued to apply pressure, and in the 62nd minute, Salah finally got on the scoresheet, curling a shot past Andre Onana from the edge of the area after a defensive lapse from United.
Despite some moments of promise, including a notable save by Liverpool’s Alisson off a header from summer recruit Zirzkee, United struggled to mount any significant challenge. The defeat marked their second consecutive loss, raising further questions about their season ahead.
Meanwhile, Liverpool stands proudly at the top of the table alongside reigning champions Manchester City, with fans hoping this dominant display signifies a return to elite form.
