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

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp details importance of Man United rivalry

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.

Liverpool 4-0 Man Utd

69 mins: Manchester United have been so composed as a team under Erik ten Hag but they’ve fallen apart today. Mistakes have been abundent and tempers are boiling over.

Liverpool have reverted to the Liverpool of old. They’ve ripped United apart multiple times in this second half and look like a force to be reckoned with once again.

GOAL! Liverpool 4-0 Man Utd (Salah, 66’)⚽️

66 mins: Mo Salah scores again!

It’s another counter punch from Liverpool with Jordan Henderson threading the ball through the middle. There’s a bit of luck as a deflection knocks the ball to Darwin Nunez who slips a pass to Salah.

Salah’s waiting in the box and doesn’t bother to look at the goal before blasting a powerful strike onto the underside of the bar and adding a fourth!

Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd

63 mins: Lisandro Martinez is booked for a poorly timed challenge on Cody Gakpo. The resultant free kick is flicked into the box and Diogo Dalot nods it behind for a corner.

The corner comes to nothing but Gakpo continues to cause problems drawing Scott McTominay into another foul that earns the midfielder a yellow card too.

Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd

60 mins: Erik ten Hag responds by making a double change. Wout Weghorst and Fred are both hooked with Scott McTominay and Alejandro Garnacho introduced.

The Man Utd boss is still chasing goals but Liverpool are firmly in the ascendancy.

Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd

58 mins: Close! Liverpool win a corner kick that gets whipped onto the head of Ibrahima Konate. Man Utd’s defence is nowhere to be seen and the Liverpool man guides his header wide of the back post.

Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd

56 mins: Alisson gets away with one now. His miscontrols a pass and allows Bruno Fernandes to nick the ball, the Liverpool goalkeeper throws himself at it and Fernandes goes to ground.

There’s a VAR check for a penalty but nothing comes from it as contact is minimal at best. That’s a needless mistake from the Reds goalkeeper.

If Liverpool keep United at bay for the next 15 minutes or so the game will be done.

Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd

53 mins: Manchester United have time to get back into this match but they need to score next and they need to score soon. Erik ten Hag must be thinking about changes.

His ability to change the game from the bench has been incredible this season and it’ll need to be again here.

50 mins: Another one!

Liverpool sweep from one end of the pitch to the other. Cody Gakpo starts the move and carries the ball into midfield before sending it wide to Mo Salah.

Salah drives down the right before sitting down Lisandro Martinez and dinking the ball into the box. Gakpo sprints forward to meet it then lifts the ball over David De Gea to put the game beyond United.

47 mins: Liverpool double their lead!

United give the ball away and the Reds burst forward. Fabinho flicks the ball over the top to Mo Salah who’s cross is blocked by Luke Shaw.

The ball comes out to Harvey Elliott and he lifts the ball onto the head of Darwin Nunez who powers it into the back of the net. There’s a deflection on the way but Liverpool won’t care.

They have the second goal.
