Manchester United finally ended their Anfield nightmare with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Liverpool, their first victory on this ground since 2016, as Harry Maguire's late header sealed a famous result and gave Ruben Amorim's men their second straight Premier League win, Softfootball reports
It was a dream start for United, who came flying out of the blocks. Barely a minute into the game, Bruno Fernandes picked out Amad Diallo, and the winger slipped a perfect ball through for Bryan Mbeumo to slot past Giorgi Mamardashvili, who was standing in for the injured Alisson Becker . The goal , one of the fastest ever in this fixture stunned the Anfield crowd, though Liverpool players were furious as Alexis Mac Allister lay on the turf after a collision with Virgil van Dijk in the buildup.
But controversy aside, United meant business. Liverpool, coming off a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea just before the international break , looked shaky once again. Cody Gakpo came close to pulling one back, curling a shot against the post, while Fernandes nearly doubled United's lead moments later with a strike that also rattled the woodwork.
