For reasons that perhaps relate to the soul of a club as proud as Manchester United, the Old Trafford team is making the season miserable for Liverpool, which is also its archrival. The English classic ended with a frustrating draw (2-2) for the team led by Jürgen Klopp, who had already lost out on their visit to the old United factory in their last cup match. Parity, also rescued by a late penalty scored by Salah, costs Liverpool the lead in the Premier League.
With seven games ahead, Arsenal are in control with the same score as the networksbut with a nine-point advantage in the goal average general, which is what counts in case of final equality. Manchester City is one point away in a three-way duel that has not occurred in the English competition since ten years ago Chelsea, Liverpool and City were also in a fist at this point. That year the Manchester team took the win, with Manuel Pellegrini at the controls.
Liverpool were hurt by the setback because they shot at goal 28 times in one of their usual offensive torrents. From start to finish he was faithful to his vertical essence. He lacked finesse in his definition and made some gross errors like the one that gave United the tie at the start of the second half. Luis Díaz had scored before to capture the visiting superiority. But an error by the young centre-back Quansah, the only Englishman in an initial team with eleven different nationalities, in the circulation of the ball was punished by Bruno Fernandes with a precise hit from midfield into the net.
United began to effervescence and believed they won the game with the genius of another junior, 18-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who hit a diabolical thread from the top of the area to give his team the advantage. Liverpool rebelled, insisting until Elliot forced a penalty against which Salah did not hesitate. Klopp’s team sought victory, having only won one of the six games in which they faced Erik Ten Hag, the United coach. “We should have won, but the same players who failed today are the ones who have us ahead with 71 points,” said Liverpool’s German coach.
With Europe in the middle, the Premier League will return next weekend with seemingly simple duels for Liverpool, who host Crystal Palace, and Manchester City, who visit Luton Town. A tough challenge awaits Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium against Aston Villa.
