In the first half, Liverpool had an overwhelming advantage and took the lead with Luis Diaz’s goal. The captain of the Hungarian national team had a great opportunity, but he hit the ball badly. MU didn’t even have a shot on goal in the first half, according to Opta, which deals with statistics, this has not happened in a league game at Old Trafford since 2015.
After the turn, the home team equalized practically out of nowhere, Jarell Quansah made a huge mistake, passing to the opponent in an inexplicable way at the starting circle, and Bruno Fernandes shot into the goal from almost halfway, scoring the 50th goal of his career in the Premier League.
MU came back into the match and converted in the 68th minute – Szoboszlai was already replaced by Jürgen Klopp – the 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo curled beautifully into the top left corner.
Liverpool equalized in the 84th minute, Mohamed Szalah scored from the penalty spot, and the result did not change. With this loss of points, the Reds could not get back to the top of the table, which is now – with a better goal ratio – led by Arsenal.
