In a Premier League match at Anfield on Sunday, Liverpool secured a resounding 7-0 victory over Manchester United. The match featured a stunning second-half performance from Liverpool, with six of their goals coming after the break.
Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah all scored twice, while Roberto Firmino added one more.
The defeat was United manager Erik ten Hag’s heaviest in charge of the team and seriously impacted the club’s pursuit of trophies, making their chances of winning the Premier League title increasingly unlikely.
On the other hand, Liverpool’s victory came at a crucial time as they took advantage of losses by their top four rivals Newcastle and Tottenham on Saturday to strengthen their bid to qualify for the Champions League.
Gakpo opened the scoring for Liverpool in the 43rd minute after missed chances from United’s Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
Nunez doubled the lead in the 47th minute, followed by Salah and Gakpo, who made it 3-0 and 4-0, respectively, within the first ten minutes of the second half.
As United attempted to mount a comeback, Liverpool went on a rampage and scored two more goals through Nunez in the 75th minute and Salah in the 66th minute, taking their tally to six.
Firmino came off the bench and scored in the 88th minute to complete Liverpool’s 7-0 rout of their rivals.
