Liverpool not only defeated Manchester United 4-0, playing without Cristiano Ronaldo, but also took the highest position in the English Premier League. Two goals from Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah wrote off 20-time English Premier League winners Manchester’s heartbreaking defeat.
With this Salah ended his goal drought in the last eight matches. Manchester’s chances of finishing in the first four places in the league have been dealt a blow with this defeat. If she fails to do so, she will not be able to get a ticket to the Champions League.
Salah scored the first goal since March 12:
The truth is that Liverpool wrote down Manchester’s defeat in the first five minutes. Earlier, Liverpool had thrashed Manchester 5-0 thanks to Saleh’s hat-trick. In the fifth minute, Luis Diaz scored the first goal with the help of Saleh.
Manchester goalkeeper David de Gea was left watching the attack from both. Salah sprinkled salt on Manchester’s wounds with his first goal in the 22nd minute to score 2–0 in favor of Liverpool.
It was Salah’s first goal for Liverpool since March 12. This was the score till half time. Salah said after the match that he always gave the ball in one-on-one position which made the job easier for him.
Sadio Mane also scored-
Senegal’s star striker Sadio Mane scored 3-0 in the 68th minute and Saleh scored another goal in the 85th minute to write Manchester’s defeat 4-0. The victory was a big one for coach Jurgen Klopp.
One, he got the highest position in the EPL. He has to play the FA Cup final against Chelsea next month. Then he will face Villarreal in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
If Manchester City beat Brighton in their next match, Liverpool’s two-point lead would end and City would again take the top spot. Disappointed United’s Portuguese striker Bruno Fernandez said after the match that Liverpool seemed to be fighting for the title and that his team was up in arms.
When United and Liverpool supporters came out in support of Ronaldo-
This is rarely seen, but before the match, supporters of Liverpool and Manchester expressed their condolences on the death of Cristiano Ronaldo’s twin son.
Fans carried banners in the stadium, which read that they stand with Ronaldo and his family in this hour of grief. Ronaldo was supposed to play in this match, but his newborn twin son died two days ago, while the twin daughter is safe.
