Liverpool dismantled Manchester United in a dominant 3-0 victory at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday, showcasing their superiority over their fierce rivals. Erik ten Hag’s side was simply outmatched, struggling to keep pace with the relentless Reds throughout the match.
The first half saw Liverpool control possession and create numerous chances. In the 35th minute, a defensive lapse by Casemiro allowed Luis Diaz to capitalize with a well-placed header from a Salah cross, putting Liverpool in the lead. Casemiro was again at fault for Liverpool’s second goal, just before halftime. His miscue allowed Salah to set up Diaz for a clinical finish, effectively sealing the fate of the match.
Manchester United was on the back foot and appeared demoralized as the second half began. Liverpool continued their onslaught, and Mohamed Salah extended their lead in the 56th minute with a well-taken goal. Despite having the opportunity to add to their tally, Liverpool settled for a comfortable 3-0 win, maintaining their perfect start to the season under new manager Arne Slot.
The result underscores the significant gap in quality between the two teams, with Liverpool demonstrating their dominance in all facets of the game. Manchester United will need to find a way to improve quickly if they hope to challenge for a top spot in the league this season.
