PARIS OLYMPIC GAMES
Liverpool produced a stunning performance to defeat Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford, with Luiz Diaz’s first-half double setting the tone for a dominant display.
The win marks Arne Slot’s third consecutive victory since taking charge of Liverpool, with the Reds now level on points with Manchester City ahead of the international break.
Mohamed Salah’s involvement in the third goal took his tally to 18 goals and 6 assists against Manchester United in the Premier League, a record for any player against the Red Devils.
Liverpool’s high press and midfield dominance, led by Ryan Gravernberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, proved too much for United’s double pivot of Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo.
Slot’s Liverpool have quickly found their identity, in stark contrast to United’s struggles under Erik ten Hag.
The Reds’ relentless pressure left the Dutchman’s side reeling, unable to match their opponents’ intensity.
Slot became the first Liverpool manager in 88 years to win his first away league game against Manchester United, a testament to his impressive start at the helm.
Liverpool’s convincing win sends a strong statement, while United’s struggles continue.
