Liverpool 7-0 Manchester United: Reds Make History with Record-Breaking Victory
Liverpool Thrash United in Seven-Goal Thriller
In a match that will go down in history, Liverpool demolished Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield, setting a new club record and humiliating their arch-rivals in the Premier League.
Gakpo, Nunez, and Salah Star in Liverpool's Dominance
Cody Gakpo opened the scoring for the Reds in the 43rd minute, followed by goals from Andrew Robertson and Harvey Elliott just after halftime. Mohamed Salah then took over, scoring in the 50th and 88th minutes to set a new Liverpool record. Jordan Henderson added a fifth in the 75th minute, and Roberto Firmino sealed the historic victory in the 83rd minute.
United Humiliated at Anfield
Manchester United were outplayed from start to finish, with Erik ten Hag's side failing to create any real chances and conceding seven goals with ease. The result was United's heaviest defeat in their history, matching the 7-0 loss they suffered to Blackburn Rovers in 1926.
Liverpool Back in Title Race
The victory was a huge boost for Liverpool's hopes of finishing in the top four and securing a Champions League spot. The Reds are now up to fifth in the table, just three points behind Manchester City and six points behind Arsenal.
Salah Sets New Record
Mohamed Salah's two goals against United took his tally to 129 in the Premier League, surpassing Robbie Fowler as Liverpool's all-time top scorer in the competition.
Historic Rivalry Reaches New Heights
The match also marked a new chapter in the historic rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United. The 7-0 scoreline was the biggest margin of victory for either side in the fixture since 1895, and it was the first time that Liverpool had scored seven goals against United in any competition.
