"Harry Maguire's late header condemned Liverpool to their fourth straight defeat as Manchester United beat the Premier League champions 2-1 at Anfield. Cody Gakpo, who had earlier hit the woodwork three times, thought he had rescued at least a point for Liverpool when he tucked home from Federico Chiesa's cross in the 78th minute. Yet just as the home faithful fancied another comeback win was in the offing, Bruno Fernandes crossed in brilliantly for Maguire, who slammed a header into the left-hand corner."
"Liverpool spent only seven minutes of the match on level terms, with United having gone ahead inside 62 seconds when Bryan Mbeumo capitalised on a mix-up between Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate. Gakpo almost single-handedly restored parity on three occasions, while Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah squandered huge chances for Liverpool. But United had opportunities of their own - not least when Fernandes struck the upright with plenty of the goal to aim at in the first half."
