"United end nine-year drought without victory at Anfield and deal a blow to the reigning champions' title chase. Manchester United condemned Liverpool to a fourth successive defeat as Harry Maguire's late goal sealed a 2-1 win over the spluttering Premier League champions. After losses against Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea, Arne Slot's side endured their most painful setback of the season at the hands of their bitter rivals on Sunday."
"Bryan Mbeumo put United in front after two minutes and although Cody Gakpo equalised in the 78th minute, Maguire grabbed his club's first win at Anfield since 2016 with an 84th minute header. Maguire's goal also secured back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time in Ruben Amorim's tenure as United boss. United close to within two points of their historic rivals and up to ninth in the table to ease the pressure on Amorim after his biggest win in nearly a year in charge."
