A controversial early goal and a late winner at Anfield hand United a vital victory, extending their rivals’ miserable run to four straight defeats.
In a dramatic and bruising encounter at Anfield, Harry Maguire’s powerful header delivered a crushing blow to Liverpool, securing a 2-1 victory for Manchester United and deepening the crisis for the struggling hosts.
The match began in controversial fashion, with United taking the lead after just two minutes. Bryan Mbeumo broke through to score, but the goal was shrouded in controversy as Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister lay injured on the pitch following an accidental collision with his own teammate, Virgil van Dijk. Despite head injury protocols, play continued, leaving Liverpool furious and giving the visitors a dream start.
The home side, now mired in a four-game losing streak, fought desperately for an equalizer. Their persistence paid off in the 78th minute when Cody Gakpo tapped in from close range, setting the stage for a frantic finale.
However, United had the final say. With just seven minutes remaining, defender Harry Maguire rose highest to thunder home a decisive header, sealing a hard-fought and symbolic victory. The win marks the first time United have secured back-to-back league wins under manager Ruben Amorim, providing a massive boost for their campaign while piling more pressure on their bitter rivals.
