The Premier League witnessed another classic match-up between Liverpool and Manchester United on Sunday, as Arne Slot's men hosted the rudderless Manchester United under new coach Ruben Amorim. After a goalless first half, goals poured in during the second, as United came back from behind to secure a 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield.
Manchester United were the first to draw blood, as Lisandro Martinez, with a beautiful shot in the 52nd minute, put the Red Devils 1-0 up. However, Liverpool replied strongly as Cody Gakpo, with a mirror-image shot of Martinez's, levelled the score before Mohamed Salah, with a penalty kick in the 70th minute, put Liverpool in a 2-1 lead. Just when fans at Anfield thought the match was all over, Amad, with a tap-in goal from a pass by Garnacho, brought United back level at 2-2. Both sides tried their best to find the winning goal in the next 10 minutes of regulation time and seven minutes of extra time, but the match eventually ended with both sides sharing a point each.
Underwhelming first half
The first half of the match started with Liverpool going into full attack mode, as Manchester United were unable to stop them in midfield. However, things soon changed as United kept denying everything Liverpool threw at them and soon started creating some chances of their own. But Liverpool also returned the favour with some great saves to keep the scoreline at nil-nil.
Liverpool took eight shots in the first 45 minutes, but only Mac Allister's shot was on target. On the other hand, United were not too far behind as they took six shots, but just like Liverpool, only Hojlund's shot in the 42nd minute was on target. In terms of possession, Liverpool led United by 56 per cent to 44 per cent.
