Liverpool delivered a stunning performance at Anfield on Sunday, thrashing arch-rivals Manchester United 7-0 with impressive displays from Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah who all scored twice. The defeat marked United’s worst loss since 1931 and brought their increasing momentum to an abrupt halt following their recent victory in the League Cup. After a promising start, United crumbled either side of halftime as Liverpool claimed their biggest ever victory over their opponents. Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson lauded the team’s energy levels and hailed the victory as a proper performance, while United legend Paul Scholes labelled the defeat as embarrassing and naive. Despite sitting sixth in the Premier League table, Liverpool’s win has boosted their top-four hopes while also securing an impressive record victory over their bitter rivals.
