Liverpool –
Manchester United back battered after being bent Liverpool 0-4. Manchester United centre-back and captain Harry Maguire deemed guilty for the occurrence of two opposing goals.
Competing at Anfield on Wednesday (20/4/2022) early in the morning, MU had conceded a goal when the game had only lasted five minutes. New signing Luis Diaz beat David de Gea’s guard to open Liverpool’s lead 1-0.
Maguire’s positioning on the goal was highlighted. Maguire came out of the Red Devils defensive line with the intention of closing Sadio Mane’s space. Sadly, Maguire not close enough to the opposing players so that Mane can freely send a pass to Mohamed Salah.
Furthermore, MU’s defense only leaves two players who have to deal with three offensive players the Reds. Salah then thrust the ball horizontally to Diaz who easily slotted the ball into the net.
In the 22nd minute, it was Salah’s turn to carve his name on the scoreboard to increase Liverpool’s advantage to 2-0 until the end of the first half. After halftime, Mane created Liverpool’s third goal in the 68th minute.
Mohamed Salah completes the dominance Liverpool with a goal in the last six minutes of normal time of play. On that goal, Maguire’s positioning was again questioned.
In a Liverpool attack situation, Diogo Jota from the left flank released a low pass. Maguire actually moved forward from his position so that he failed to create an offside trap. Salah successfully received Jota’s pass then finished with a chipped shot that outwitted De Gea.
As a result, pressure on Harry Maguire getting bigger after making a series of errors throughout this season. Maguire is considered to have failed to live up to expectations after signing from Leicester City for 80 million pounds in the summer of 2019.
it Manchester United again out of the top four of the Premier League standings. MU is ranked sixth with a difference of three points from Tottenham Hotspur (4), which at the same time hit MU’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
