Football

On October 19, the highlight of the 8th round of the Premier League started at Anfield Stadium. Liverpool faced Manchester United at home. Isaac and Wirtz both misfired in this campaign. Mbemo scored a lightning goal in the first 63 seconds. Gakpo hit the post three times and once equalized the score. Maguire won with a header, 2-1. Manchester United won away from home, giving Liverpool a 4-game losing streak!

Liverpool has 5 wins and 2 losses in the first 7 rounds and has accumulated 15 points, temporarily ranking third in the standings. Liverpool's last three games have all ended in defeat, putting huge pressure on coach Slott's shoulders. Manchester United has 3 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses and 10 points, ranking only 11th. Amorim is also unstable.

Liverpool continues the 4231 formation in this game, with Isaac serving as the single arrow, Salah, Gakpo, Szoboszlai, McAllister and Hrafenberch in the midfield, Konate and Van Dijk guarding the defense, and Wirtz on the bench.

Manchester United adheres to the 3421 system, with Mount, Cunha and Mbemo forming an attacking combination, B Fee and Casemiro guarding the midfield, and Maguire, De Ligt and Luke Shaw partnering as three central defenders.

Only 63 seconds into the game, Manchester United broke the deadlock:

Van Dijk accidentally injured McAllister, B Fee followed up with the ball, Diallo advanced from the right and sent a wonderful pass, Mbemo stepped in at high speed, and shot from a small angle through Mamardashvili's ten fingers, 1-0! After joining Manchester United for 75 million euros this summer, Mbemo has scored 3 goals in 8 appearances and has ranked first in the team.

In the 21st minute, Liverpool launched a quick counterattack. Salah made a perfect pass from the middle. Gakpo went to the meeting alone. Facing Ramens, he chose to shoot into the far corner and hit the post.

In the 24th minute, Cunha made a precise long pass from the right. Diallo hit back with an inverted triangle. B fee outflanked the shot and missed the post. Liverpool almost lost another goal.

In the 29th minute, Korquez made a pass from the left, Dalot made a clearance and kicked the ball. Isaac had a great opportunity and missed the volley, and Manchester United escaped. In the 32nd minute, Jia Kebo made a breakthrough pass from the left, hit the B fee and was refracted, and was then blocked by the post.

In the 35th minute, Konate made a pass from the backcourt. Isaac stepped forward and hit the goal with a single shot. Ramens fell to the ground and stretched his legs to resolve the danger.

In the first half, Liverpool had 60% of the ball and shot 7-6 ahead, but failed to score. Manchester United entered the locker room with a 1-goal advantage.

Change sides and fight again. In the 49th minute, Salah made a pass from the right. Gakpo stopped the ball at the back point and got rid of the trend and took a shot. He hit the goal post again and performed a goal post hat trick.

In the 62nd minute, Liverpool made three substitutions in a row. Ekitic, Jones and Wirtz came on, replacing Hrafenberch, McAllister and Bradley. In the 70th minute, Kolquez made a pass from the left, and Salah volleyed unmarked from behind. In the 72nd minute, Chiesa Jr. came on the scene, and Isaac, who cost Liverpool 145 million to sign, was replaced. He has played 4 times in the Premier League this season and still failed to gain anything.

In the 78th minute, Wirtz sent a wonderful pass during the melee. Chiesa made a pass. Gakpo made a great push in front of the goal. Liverpool finally equalized the score, 1-1!

In the 84th minute, Manchester United took the lead again:

Mbemo's shot was blocked, B Fee sent a cross, and Maguire succeeded with a header in front of the goal, 2-1!

In the 87th minute, Frimpong, who had just come on as a substitute, broke through from the right and made a pass. Gakpo was unmarked and headed the ball wide, wasting a good opportunity to equalize.

Liverpool swallowed the bitter fruit of a 1-2 defeat, suffered 4 consecutive losses in all competitions, and was already 4 points behind Arsenal at the top of the list. And Manchester United is proud of the Double Red Club, achieving 2 consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since Amorim took charge.
