Premier League 2024/25: Diaz, Salah Inspire Liverpool's Humiliation Of Manchester United At Old Trafford

Liverpool's Win Vs Manchester United: The Reds proved to be too good for The Red Devils at Old Trafford, as Arne Slot's men register third consecutive PL win. Here are the details.

Liverpool's Win Vs Manchester United: A Luis Diaz double and a brace of assists from Mohammad Salah helped Liverpool hand Manchester United a humiliating 3-0 defeat on Sunday, as Erik Ten Hag's side has now suffered successive Premier League defeats. It was a fixture which only went one way, and it was Liverpool's day at the home of Red Devils, as they now have 9 points out of possible 9 in the Premier League 2024/25 season.

It was the first big test of Arne Slot as Liverpool manager, and the Dutchman passed the test with flying colours, and applauded his side's work rate in the post-match interview.

"I normally don’t use the word ‘proud’ but what I think we did very well in all three games is, like I just mentioned, the work-rate without the ball. So, we try to press the opponent as high as we can but if they play through or over our press, I see everybody working really hard to make sure we don’t need Ali and sometimes we do and then it’s a good thing that we have a real good goalkeeper. What impressed me most today was the way we played with the ball because I know what we can do without the ball, but the way we played with the ball was I think also very good today," said Arne Slot.

Manchester United Vs Liverpool Premier League 2024/25 Matchday 3 Highlights

Manchester United were off to a franctic start, as Liverpool were all over the place against the Red Devils at the iconic Old Trafford, and soon found themselves in the lead inside 7 minutes, as Trent Alexander Arnold gave The Reds a well-deserved lead. However, Mohammad Salah seemed to be interfering the play in the build-up to the goal, and ultimately, the goal was ruled out because the Egyptian was in an offside position.

This did not stop Liverpool's momentum as constant attacks and runs got better of Casemiro, who had a horrible 45 minutes, as his errors led to The Reds taking a 2-0 lead at half-time, at the fortress of Manchester United.

Luis Diaz scored a first-half brace and it was a downhill journey afterwards for Manchester United, as Liverpool completely humbled and humiliated Erik Ten Hag's men by scoring 3 past Andre Onana, a scoreline which could have looked a way lot worse if not for those missed cances by Liverpool midfielders and forwards.

Josh Zirkzee was presented with few great chances, but Allisson's brilliance in goal ensured yet another clean sheet for the Brazilian, and Manchester United were heavily booed by their supporters at the full-time whistle.
