Liverpool thrashes Manchester United 7-0 in Premier League
The HinduLiverpool brought Manchester United’s bandwagon to a shuddering halt as Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah all scored twice in a record 7-0 hammering of their arch-rival to boost their Premier League top-four hopes at Anfield on Sunday. A week after a resurgent United claimed its first trophy since 2017 by winning the League Cup, and amid talk of a title push, it was blown away either side of halftime as Liverpool recorded its biggest ever margin of victory in the fixture. Salah then rubbed salt into United wounds with a close-range effort to score a record 129th Premier League goal for the club before Roberto Firmino came off the bench to make it seven. Liverpool’s fourth win in five league matches lifted it above Newcastle United into fifth on 42 points, three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with a game in hand.
