Mistake from Casemiro. Counter-attack from Liverpool. Cross from Mohamed Salah. Goal from Luis Díaz.
That's how the first half of the Premier League match at Old Trafford can be summed up.
The procedure was repeated twice. In the 35th minute, Díaz nodded the ball in with his head, in the 42nd minute, he placed the ball with his right foot. Two heavy blows for United and the already questioned coach Erik ten Hag.
"We were really good today"
For the second half, he chose to replace Casemiro with the untested 20-year-old Toby Collyer. But the substitution didn't have a significant effect. Liverpool extended to 3–0 in the 56th minute – in a similar way to the first goals.
The young star Kobbie Mainoo lost the ball, Liverpool counter-attacked lightning-fast and Mohamed Salah placed in 3–0. A goal that became the last of the match.
We were really good today and had good patience, says Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch to Viaplay.
Top together with City
Another tough result for Manchester United, who lost to Brighton in the last round after a goal in the 95th minute. Now the pressure increases even more on Erik ten Hag, who last year "saved" a poor league season by winning the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Life is much more enjoyable right now for his Dutch compatriot Arne Slot. Since he replaced Jürgen Klopp, there have been three wins in three matches. A cannon start to the season, in other words.
After three rounds, only Liverpool and Manchester City have won all their matches.
We must continue like this, notes the Dutchman Gravenberch.
