The Liverpool show at Old Trafford! Historic shame and incredible numbers
The Reds decapitated their arch rivals from Manchester in the North-West Derby. The result is almost cruel! 5-0 to Liverpool at the Red Devils stadium, an unacceptable result, but United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær will probably survive this debacle.
The Reds decapitated their arch rivals from Manchester in the North-West Derby. The result is almost cruel! 5: 0 for Liverpool at the Red Devils stadium, an unacceptable result, but United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær will probably survive this debacle. What did the match have to offer?
Simply put, Liverpool’s absolute dominance in all aspects. The Reds are on an incredible run, having not lost for 22 games in a row in all competitions. They are being driven by the incredible Mohamed Salah, who scored a hat-trick at Old Trafford.
He became the first visiting player in 18 years to achieve this feat (at Old Trafford). Before him, Brazilian Ronaldo did it in the Champions League in April 2003.
Another interesting fact is the statistics of touches on the ball. Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson had 144 touches with the ball, the most ever in a single game since the start of the Premier League season.
The match also saw an incredible historical milestone. For Manchester United, this is the most significant home defeat to Liverpool since 1925!
A clash with Ronaldo and a celebrating Klopp
Star Cristiano Ronaldo had a tough day having to bite a crushing defeat and after one foul, the Liverpool players got pretty into it too. Take a look for yourself!
Liverpool’s German manager Jürgen Klopp had a huge reason to rejoice again. Winning at Old Trafford by such a big margin is something that few people manage to do. After the game, he gave the away fans a big cheer!
