Liverpool with home advantage, better strength and form were expected to beat Man United to catch up with Arsenal in the title race. But Liverpool soon received a cold shower when Ryan Mbeumo scored to put Man United ahead.

In the 2nd minute, from the right wing, Ahmad Diallo passed the ball to Mbeumo who then fired a powerful right-footed shot into the near corner, beating Liverpool's goalkeeper and opening the score.

After Mbeumo's goal, Man United retreated to defend and waited for the opportunity to launch a decisive blow to finish off their opponent.

On the other hand, Liverpool tried their best to attack to find an equalizer. Both teams created dangerous opportunities but were unable to capitalize on them.

Riding on the momentum, Liverpool pushed their formation to search for the decisive goal.

But Man United once again made Liverpool regret. In the 84th minute, from a pass from Bruno Fernandes, center-back Harry Maguire jumped high to head the ball into the net, sealing a 2-1 victory for Man United. The match had 9 minutes of added time, but Liverpool were unable to find an equalizer, accepting a 1-2 defeat.
