In the 32nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United played Liverpool at home. After a poor first-half performance and zero shots on goal, a low-level mistake by Liverpool defender Kuansa allowed Bruno Fernandes to lob home and equalise for United.
Just 70 seconds into the game, Garnacho dribbled past the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the empty net, but the linesman immediately raised the flag for offside. Surprisingly, United actually had zero shots on goal in the first half, which was the first time that United had zero shots in the first half at home in the Premier League since facing Manchester City in October 2015, and it was also the first time that United had zero shots on goal in the first half of the Premier League since facing Liverpool in April 2022.
Fernandes' performances have been rather sluggish and have been criticised by renowned journalist Whitewell, "Fernandes' performance has been shocking, Liverpool are almost playing training games, they have been squandering opportunities. ”
Liverpool scored just one goal from 15 first-half attempts, leaving United with zero shots to stay in the game. Not only that, but the Liverpool players also made fatal mistakes in the second half.
In the 50th minute of the game, Kwansa blindly crossed without pressing, and as a result, the ball was passed directly to Fernandez, who took advantage of the midfield to shoot and the ball flew into the goal!
Surprisingly, United managed to score with their first shot on goal to equalise the score. After the goal, Fernandez made a shut-up gesture and skipped to his knees in celebration!
Carragher was furious, "It's an intolerable end. The only way United can get back into the game is for Liverpool to play very sloppily, and that's what they did. ”
