Liverpool vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League result, final score after Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah goals
Liverpool 7-0 Man Utd: Jurgen Klopp’s Red demolish Man Utd in second half thrashing at Anfield
Mohamed Salah became Liverpool’s record Premier League scorer as they humiliated Manchester United and ended any chance of Erik ten Hag’s men joining the title race in an historic 7-0 mauling at Anfield.
The new look forward pairing of Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo each scored twice to help Liverpool to the largest victory in the fixture’s 211-match history.
Three goals came in a seven-minute spell either side of half-time which left the United shellshocked and extended their run of not winning at Anfield since Jurgen Klopp’s first encounter with them in January 2016.
Salah then provided a timely reminder of his enduring qualities with two goals of his own to go past Robbie Fowler as the club’s record Premier League scorer with his 128th and 129th goals.
The icing on the cake was a final goal from substitute Roberto Firmino, who on Friday told the club he would be ending his eight-year stay at Anfield in the summer.
