Maguire’s late header ends Man United Anfield drought as Liverpool’s crisis deepens

Harry Maguire’s dramatic late goal earned Manchester United their first victory at Anfield in nearly 10 years, sealing a 2-1 win and condemning Liverpool to a fourth consecutive defeat.

United strike early amid controversy

The match began in chaotic fashion as United took the lead inside two minutes.

 

Referee Michael Oliver allowed play to continue despite Alex Mac Allister lying on the turf with a head injury following an accidental elbow from teammate Virgil van Dijk.

 

United capitalized immediately, with Bryan Mbeumo slotting home past stand-in goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who was deputizing for the injured Alisson.

Gakpo’s persistence finally pays off

Liverpool responded with intensity, but Cody Gakpo endured a frustrating evening, striking the woodwork twice before halftime and again after the restart.
