Liverpool’s failure to score for the first time since April denied them the top spot in the Premier League as Manchester United secured a goalless draw. The result cost Liverpool a chance at a club record and allowed Manchester United to stem a recent defensive crisis.
Erik ten Hag’s United successfully kept Liverpool at bay, despite Jurgen Klopp’s team finishing the game with five attacking players. The goal drought for Manchester United on Liverpool’s home turf extended to 507 minutes, but they managed to secure a valuable point.
Despite Liverpool’s dominance and numerous attempts (34 shots in the game), they couldn’t convert their chances into goals. Mohamed Salah’s efforts were thwarted by a solid United defense and goalkeeper Andre Onana. The draw prevented Liverpool from reclaiming top spot in the Premier League.
In the last few minutes of the game, United’s Diogo Dalot received a controversial double-yellow card sending off. The result leaves Manchester United with just one win in six matches, while Liverpool, despite their dominance, couldn’t secure the victory they were seeking.
