Salah stars as Liverpool humiliates Man United at Old Trafford. Big-spending Chelsea held by Palace
Associated PressLiverpool reasserted its dominance over Manchester United on Sunday by beating its great rival 3-0 on Sunday as Mohamed Salah enjoyed another dreamy visit to Old Trafford. Salah scored for the seventh straight game at Old Trafford and also provided two first-half assists for Luis Diaz in United’s latest humiliation at the hands of its fiercest opponent in what is historically the biggest match in English soccer. The win would have given Liverpool extra satisfaction because the team’s season was ruined at Old Trafford in the 2023-24 campaign, after losing in the FA Cup quarterfinals and dropping vital points in the league title run-in. A 1-1 home draw with Crystal Palace meant Chelsea has won just one of its first three league matches this season — even if that was a 6-2 rout of Wolverhampton last weekend. Chelsea has four points from a possible nine, having opened the season by losing to Manchester City, and manager Enzo Maresca said “the direction is the correct one” for his team.
