The biggest derby in England had different expectations for the two teams. On one side, the league leaders, a confident Liverpool, played at home and had the chance to maintain a large lead over second-placed Arsenal. On the other side, Manchester United was desperately seeking a win after four consecutive losses, three of them in the Premier League.
But a derby is always a derby. On the pitch, both teams played a game worthy of their stature, and despite the first half ending with a 0-0 scoreline, both sides pushed for the game. After the break, coaches Arne Slot and Rúben Amorim allowed their players more freedom, and the result came quickly.
In the 6th minute, Lisandro Martínez anticipated the ball in midfield, played it into the box, and scored a beautiful goal for the Red Devils. Liverpool’s response came swiftly: seven minutes later, Gakpo received the ball on the left side of the area, made a brilliant cut on De Ligt, and equalized for the hosts.
The equalizer sparked Liverpool, who sought the lead in the 25th minute with Salah – always him – converting a penalty. But Manchester United didn’t give up and continued to push for an equalizer, which came 10 minutes later from Diallo.
With the draw, the Reds remain at the top of the table with 46 points and a game in hand, six points ahead of second-placed Arsenal with 40. Meanwhile, United continues to struggle in the table, with no win in the Premier League for four games, sitting in 13th place with 23 points.
