Liverpool 7-0 Man United match report
Man United suffered their first Premier League defeat since January in a 7-0 thumping against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. It’s a result that severely dents their title chances this year and ends a stunning run of positive results for Erik Ten Hag’s side. Braces from Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah, as well as a goal from substitute Roberto Firmino, saw Liverpool secure a resounding 7-0 win against their old enemy.
