In a thrilling Premier League encounter on Sunday, Manchester United emerged victorious with a dramatic 2–1 win over Liverpool, thanks to an 84th-minute header from Harry Maguire. This victory not only marked United’s second consecutive league win under manager Ruben Amorim but also deepened Liverpool’s woes, as they suffered their fourth straight defeat. The match began controversially, with Bryan Mbeumo scoring for Manchester United just seconds into the game, despite Liverpool players appealing for a stoppage due to an apparent head injury to Alexis Mac Allister. Liverpool dominated much of the game, controlling possession and creating numerous chances. Cody Gakpo came close multiple times, hitting the post three times before finally equalizing in the 78th minute. However, Maguire’s late heroics secured the win for United, propelling them to ninth place in the league standings, just three points away from the coveted Champions League spots. Meanwhile, Liverpool now trails league leaders Arsenal by four points, leaving manager Arne Slot with much to ponder.
