Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick to outshine Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford, while a Red Devil earned a score of zero as Liverpool humbled Manchester United 5-0.
Liverpool stunned the home crowd into silence after five minutes when breaking the deadlock through Naby Keita. After Manchester United’s token press was easily played around, Mohamed Salah fed Keita who coolly slotted beyond David de Gea.
One quickly became two when Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw gifted the Reds a second goal. Indecision between the two saw the ball ultimately break to Trent Alexander-Arnold down the right. His fizzed low cross picked out Diogo Jota at the far post who tapped home on the stretch.
United briefly rebounded and fashioned several shooting opportunities, though lacked the clinicality Liverpool were displaying in the final third.
