Bruno reached 10 goals in the Premier League this season.
Man Utd scored a super goal in the second half.
The Old Trafford match began with a thrilling whistle and continued from there. MU had a chance to counterattack in the second minute. Garnacho got away from Bruno Fernandes’s slot and deposited the ball in Liverpool’s goal. Nevertheless, offside prevented the goal from being awarded.
In just one minute, Liverpool had a response. In the penalty area, Andre Onana emerged and superbly stopped Dominik Szoboszlai’s effort. Szoboszlai again threatened MU’s goal in the eleventh minute, this time with a long-range attempt that just missed the crossbar.
In the 23rd minute, the away team created a difference from a fixed situation. Darwin Nunez hit the wall with his head so that Luis Diaz could comfortably lean back and finish, not giving Onana a chance to block.
Another poor defensive arrangement by the home team. Casemiro and Wan-Bissaka stood nearby but accidentally blocked each other’s movement. The one who threw the shot, Diaz was also unmarked.
In the 27th minute, MU had the first notable opportunity. Casemiro hit the wall with his head but no teammate had time to cut in and create a cut-off point in front of Liverpool’s goal.
In the 33rd minute, the MU net almost shook for the second time. Salah had two shots with his left foot from close to the 16.5 m line. Onana played focused to save the home team. In the first half, 14 shots were taken by “The Kop” from the beginning of the match, while MU’s number was still 0. This was the consequence of the poor performance of the home team’s midfielders. Bruno Fernandes continuously failed passes and lost the ball 12 times.
According to calculations from the Premier League, MU only has a 7% chance of winning this match. Meanwhile, Liverpool has a 73% chance of leaving Old Trafford with 3 points.
Right at the beginning of the second half, MU suffered a storm. Harry Maguire used all his strength to make two consecutive blocks.
In a pressured game, MU suddenly received a gift from Liverpool. In the 50th minute, midfielder Quansah passed carelessly. Bruno noticed that Kelleher was rising so he immediately took a shot from midfield. The ball went beyond the reach of the away team’s goalkeeper and slowly rolled into the net. MU equalized with the first shot from the beginning of the match.
After the goal, Liverpool pressed forward but did not create any notable opportunities. In the 67th minute, Bruno made a quality pass from the middle of the field. Wan-Bissaka stretched just enough for Kobbie Mainoo to turn and finish, sending the ball on an unstoppable trajectory, giving MU the lead.
In the 79th minute, Liverpool had a good chance to equalize. Diaz’s shot made Onana unable to catch the ball. In the crossing situation, Salah missed the bar again, to the regret of the fans.
In the 82nd minute, MU suddenly received a penalty after Wan-Bissaka failed to hit the ball. From 11 meters away, Salah made no mistake to equalize for the away team.
In the last minutes, both teams had more opportunities but could not take advantage. MU has one more time to drop 3 points in the position of the leading team. Meanwhile, Liverpool lost first place to Arsenal. “Red Brigade” and “Gunners” have the same 71 points but are ranked behind due to poor difference (51 vs 42).
