VK Liverpool beat Manchester United 5-0

On Sunday, Liverpool beat Manchester United 5-0 at Old Trafford, with Mohamed Salah scoring a hat-trick that put pressure on United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

United trailed by four goals in the first half – the biggest score they had led in the same period of the game – with Salah, Diogo Horta and Nabi Keita all scoring goals that left United looking divided.

Salah made his third appearance in the second half before Paul Pogba was sent off for a dangerous tackle.

"I think it's great to win 5-0 here, we knew before the game that if we didn't play our game it would be tough," Salah said after the game.

"We knew they were going to come and try to give everything, so we had to give 100 per cent. We just try to play our football, play in midfield to create more chances. We did it and were lucky enough to score.

'As long as the team continues to win, I'm happy and I'll do my best to win for the team."

Bruno Fernandez had a chance to score for United just four minutes later, but his shot went over the crossbar.

With Luke Shaw trying to keep an eye on Salah, Keita and Andy Robertson's poor defence, Liverpool scored a goal in five minutes. Salah chose to play at Keita, who beat David De Gea.

United defended worse in the 13th minute when Trent Alexander-Arnold's low cross was met by Jota and the ball was cleared into the net.

Salah scored his first goal with a low kick to De Gea in the 38th minute, and in the 5th minute after the first half, he scored a superb goal from a corner of the penalty area in extra time.

The Egypt international completed a hat-trick in the 5th minute of the second half. His three goals on Sunday make him the most scoring African player in Premier League history, surpassing former Chelsea striker Drogba by two goals.

"I'm disappointed that we gave them so many opportunities," Manchester United captain Harry Maguire said. "They're calm, we had a lot of chances on our own, but I'm a defender and conceded four goals in the first half, especially at Old Trafford, far from good enough.

"As a player, I know myself. I'll look at myself and my personal performance.

"We have to be united, there's no need to blame each other, but look at ourselves." When we get home tonight, look in the mirror and think about where we can do better.

Cristiano Ronaldo thought he had pulled a goal back in the 52nd minute with his outstanding personal skill, but the VAR replay showed him offside during the preparations and the goal was ruled invalid.

United's days got worse and worse, with Pogba being sent off an hour later for a provocative foul on Keita, who had to be carried off the field on a stretcher.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said he didn't expect it to be a 5-0 result.

"It was a lot of pressure, winning the ball, playing a beautiful goal," Klopp said. "I told them at half-time to play better. We started out very well and then we stopped playing football. After the fifth quarter we took control of the game, not to score more points, just to leave without more injuries.

"It turned out to be crazy, and I asked if there had been any such incidents in history, and if not, it would have been a while. The team members wrote a wonderful article in the book. It's special, but we don't celebrate like crazy, we respect our opponents. Sometimes we are lucky; Manchester United are not their best moments right now. ”
