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 0-0 Man Utd

33 mins: Man Utd look for a way into the box from the left wing but are ably blocked off by the Reds before Luke Shaw gets clipped by Cody Gakpo and wins a free kick.

Close! Shaw’s free kick is whipped onto the head of Diogo Dalot who guides a headed effort straight into the arms of Alisson.

Liverpool 0-0 Man Utd

30 mins: Half an hour played at Anfield and no breakthrough yet. Manchester United are trying to use their pace to counter and break with forward runs.

Liverpool are mixing it up, Gakpo’s runs have been fun, Salah looks determined and is the outlet for long balls and Nunez isn’t afraid to shoot.

Liverpool 0-0 Man Utd

28 mins: Chance! At the other end of the pitch Luke Shaw sends a perfect cross into the box and finds Marcus Rashford.

Rashford’s first touch just knocks the ball slightly away from him and his follow up toe poke is too soft to truly trouble Alisson who drops low and smothers it.

Liverpool 0-0 Man Utd

27 mins: Oh my. Lisandro Martinez gets away with one as Liverpool pump the ball over the top to Mo Salah. Salah brings it down then slides the ball past the Man Utd defender.

Martinez just leans across Salah and blocks his run before catching him on the chin with a stray elbow. Salah goes down but the referee lets play go on and the ball rolls out of play.

That should have been a free kick.

Liverpool 0-0 Man Utd

24 mins: Nearly! A sweeping break from Liverpool sees Trent Alexander-Arnold bring the ball down the right side before laying it off to Mo Salah.

Salah cuts inside before slipping to the ball to Andy Robertson who drives into the opposite side of the box. Robertson curls a right-footed effort towards the far corner but Lisandro Martinez gets back and heads the effort clear.

Nice move from Liverpool. They’ve been the more attacking side over these opening exchanges.

Liverpool 0-0 Man Utd

18 mins: Darwin Nunez, Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo keep switching places in Liverpool’s fluid forward line. It helps them work the ball into the penalty area from the right.

Harvey Elliott jogs into space and receives the pass before his effort at goal is blocked. The ball bobbles out to Jordan Henderson who scuffs his own shot into the feet of Nunez who is offside when fizzing a shot wide of the far post.

Liverpool 0-0 Man Utd

15 mins: Mo Salah blazes a shot high and wide from the right side of the box and looks a little bashful over the miscue.

Liverpool then win another free kick that gets floated over to Jordan Henderson. He lifts the ball back into the box where Trent Alexander-Arnold attempts to find Harvey Elliott.

Luke Shaw does just enough to distract and Elliott turns the ball wide of the goal.
