At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 20, a major game in the 30th round of the Premier League began to compete, and Liverpool faced Manchester United at home. The two teams are in very different positions in the league. Liverpool are favourites to win the title and are in hot competition with Manchester City. Manchester United, on the other hand, are struggling for Champions League qualification. For both sides, there is an urgent need for a victory to avoid leaving themselves behind in their respective teams. In the first leg of the two sides, Manchester United collapsed. Now in another meeting, United have once again collapsed and have been fed four goals. This is a shame for Manchester United, which is worth a total of 710 million euros!
Liverpool were lined up in a 433 formation for the match. Alisson served as the starting goalkeeper. Alexander Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk and Robertson are paired at 4 defenders. Henderson, Fabinho and Thiago form a three-midfielder. Salah, Mane and Dias' offensive trident combined to strike. United sent bruno Fernandez, Rashford and Erlanga in an attacking combination, with Cristiano Ronaldo absent for family reasons.
Liverpool started four minutes into the game with a counter-attack opportunity to penetrate United's backline, with Díaz scoring the goal. United were in trouble early on. After that, Liverpool firmly controlled the rhythm of the game and constantly attacked the Manchester United backline. United, on the other hand, injured a Pogba early, adding to it. Shots from the likes of Mane and Henderson were missed. But then Salah received a clever pass from Mane and scored, and De Gea was a little desperate. Díaz then scored another goal but was whistled offside. Manchester United's chances are few, and Marcus Rashford had a chance to make a single knife, but he was buried by his own stopping mistake. Liverpool ended 2-0 Manchester United at half-time. Liverpool had 76% possession in the first half, with 9 shots on goal, 3 shots on target and 2 goals. United didn't even have one shot on goal in the first half.
In the second half, Lonnick sent Sancho to strengthen the attack. Sancho's presence adds a little dynamism to United, but that's about it. Mane received a cross from Díaz in the 67th minute and de Gea was so sad. Despite taking a big lead, Liverpool have not become conservative at the tactical level and still maintain the offensive level they should have. In the 84th minute, Salah picked out a shot that scored twice and completely destroyed Manchester United. The final score was set at 4-0, and Liverpool beat Manchester United.
Lonnick set two humiliating records in team history. On the one hand, United only scored 54 points after 33 rounds, the worst record of the same period in the Premier League in the history of the team. On the other hand, it was The biggest defeat United had suffered at Anfield since the Premier League moment. United's prospects for a four-place race are deteriorating, and they are still 6th with only 54 points. It's too difficult for United to stand out from the big four!
