In a packed Anfield Road where a tribute was paid to Cristiano Ronaldo and his family after the death of one of his wife’s two children on Monday, Manchester United had a tormented evening against Jurgen Klopp’s machine. As early as the 5th minute of play, the Liverpudlians knocked out David De Gea’s goal after a demonstration in the right flank by Arnold, Mané and Salah who, by a well worked cross, allows the Colombian international striker Luis Diaz to open the score.

In the 10th minute, coach Rangnick made a forced change due to Paul Pogba’s injury. And despite the return of Jesse Lingaard, the decor did not change. Liverpool continued to rise and in the 22nd minute, Salah doubled the score allowing his team to return to the locker room with a two-goal lead.

In the second half, the ordeal of the Mancunians continued, with the Liverpool attacking trio causing misery to the opposing defense. Coach Ralf Rangnick even changed his 3-4-3 system in front of an unleashed Liverpool. 68th minute, Mané scored. And at the end of the game Salah made his double in the 85th minute taking the lead in the scoring with 22 goals. This brilliant victory (4-0) of the reds on Tuesday, April 19 at Anfield Road allows him to take the provisional lead with 76 pts, pending the result of the match City-Brighton, this Wednesday, counting for the 30th day played last weekend. For the moment, the reds have only one goal in mind: the quadruple.

Despite the tribute paid to Ronaldo and his grieving family, Manchester United received a real soccer lesson from Liverpool and a severe beating. This
season in the Premier League, it is 9 goals in two games, including 5 of the Egyptian international Mohamed Salah.

The scorers of the match Liverpool-Manchester United:
