Manchester United stunned Liverpool 2–1 at Anfield, earning their first win on Merseyside in nearly a decade and potentially saving manager Ruben Amorim from the sack.
Sir Alex Ferguson watched from the stands alongside Sir Kenny Dalglish as United rediscovered their fighting spirit. Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring in the first minute after a controversial buildup, while Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister was left floored from an aerial challenge.
Liverpool battled back through Cody Gakpo in the 78th minute, but just six minutes later, Harry Maguire rose highest to head home United’s winner, sealing a dramatic victory and a possible turning point for Amorim’s troubled reign.
For Liverpool, the loss marks a fourth consecutive defeat and raises serious questions about Arne Slot’s side. Key players, including Mohamed Salah and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, looked out of form, while defensive miscommunications continued to haunt the team.
United’s display — full of grit, organization, and renewed confidence — could mark the start of a revival after years of inconsistency at Anfield.
