Manchester United fell away as Jota
leveled and a goal either side of the interval from Firmino put the visitors on
top.
Certainly, Manchester United with
10 changes from the Leicester City reverse, didn’t give in, and a Rashford goal
gave us confidence.
1st Half:
It was an exciting opening 5
minutes with both teams presented with great chances to open the scoring. The
first went to the visitors when a Luke Shaw giveaway ball ended with a pass-through to Firmino. The forward, preferred to Sadio Mane, unexpectedly
attempted a cross rather than a shot and Eric Bailly made a brilliant covering
block. The ball struck his trailing hand but after a brief VAR check, no penalty
was given.
There was no let-up by Liverpool
and we took the lead after 10 minutes. Aaron set up Fernandes in the box and
the Portuguese’s bending shot saw the Reds defender Phillips stick out a leg
and divert it into his own goal. The goal was eventually credited officially to
Bruno.
Pogba came closest to putting the
Red Devils back into the lead, but his shot hit the side-netting late in the
half. Disappointingly, 3 minutes into added time of the 1st period, The Reds
took the lead as a simple free-kick to the back post by Alexander-Arnold was
headed home by Firmino.
2nd Half
The Reds late 1st-half dominance,
comeback and momentum continued after the interval and they were 3-1 ahead two
minutes after the restart.
Firmino grabbed his 2nd as we
failed to clear our lines, with Alexander-Arnold's thunderous shot too powerful
to be held by Firmino and Henderson reacted first to gobble up the loose ball.
Though, as Manchester United
continued the search for a dramatic escape we were hit on the break and Salah
ended all hopes as he coolly broke forward and finished calmly in the 90th
minute.
