Manchester United 2-1 Liverpool finally won two consecutive Premier League wins! Amorim sets a century-old record, which may be a turning point in coaching

With Mbemo's opening goal and Maguire's header before the end of the game, Manchester United visited Anfield Stadium for the 100th time and defeated Liverpool 2-1, sending their archenemy to a fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions. Manchester United won away at Anfield for the first time in the past 10 years. Ruben Amorim has won two consecutive Premier League games for the first time in the past year. The Red Devils also achieved the first time in 117 years that they defeated the defending league champion away from home for two consecutive seasons. Last season, Amorim also led the team to win 2-1 away from Manchester City.

Such a result would have been unthinkable a month ago, when Liverpool led the pack by five points. But following a losing streak, Liverpool was only 5 points ahead of Manchester United before the game. Despite this, they are still the favorites to win the "Double Red Club". Manchester United's final victory was the result of many factors such as the coach's use of troops, players' performance and luck.

In the starting lineup, Amorim took a risk. He decided to let the 85 million euro center Sheshko sit on the bench and restart the strikerless lineup at the beginning of the season. Sheshko scored in the first two games and was the fulcrum of the attack. However, Amorim decided to attack Liverpool in a more holistic way. Right winger Amad Diallo was assigned as the right wing-back, which was a risk. He had weaknesses on the defensive end, but his offense was very threatening, causing endless trouble for Liverpool's new signing Kolquez who was in poor form.

Amorim's choice came to fruition just 63 seconds into the game. Amad made a diagonal pass into the penalty area. Mbemo followed up and shot decisively. The ball flew into the near corner. Manchester United got off to a 1-0 start. "Liverpoolians rule this country, just like they have always done." Before the banners unfurled before the Anfield game were put up, Mbemo was waving his arms in front of the KOP stands to celebrate his goal.

Before this goal, there was some controversy on the field. The referee Michael Oliver chose to let the game continue when McAllister fell to the ground, but Liverpool could only blame themselves, because McAllister was injured by an elbow from teammate Van Dijk.

The next game became the performance stage for the Anfield goal frame and Manchester United goalkeeper Senna Lamens. Liverpool's Dutch striker Gak Bourbon had a chance to equalize soon after, but his shot bounced off the post.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandez also missed a good opportunity to expand the lead. Manchester United quickly counterattacked, but Amad sent an exquisite inverted triangle pass from the right. Fee B was unguarded, but his shot hit the crossbar, missing an excellent opportunity.

Subsequently, Gakpo made a pass from a small angle. The ball refracted and hit the far post. Manchester United escaped again.

The 23-year-old new Manchester United goalkeeper Lamence was booed by Liverpool fans from the beginning of the warm-up, but the Belgian goalkeeper, who was only playing for the team for the second time, performed well.

In the 32nd minute, when Liverpool's £100 million striker Isaac shot a single shot, Lamence blocked the ball with his foot. Red Devils fans think of De Gea, but they may no longer need to miss "Dad Duck" in the future.

Manchester United ended the first half with a one-goal lead. Ferguson was quite relaxed in the stands and shared his chocolate with Liverpool star Dalglish.

After changing sides and fighting again, Jakbo completed the "hat trick" at the center post. The Red Devils were clearly blessed by luck, but who doesn't need good luck to win? Liverpool has been lucky to win every game against Bournemouth, Newcastle United and Burnley this season. But now, their luck has run out.

The unlucky Gakpo once brought back the hope of victory for Liverpool in the 72nd minute. After Liverpool's corner kick was cleared, Mbemo's dribbling in front of the penalty area was intercepted. After a scuffle, Chiesa Jr. passed and shot from the left. Gakpo grabbed the spot in front of the goal and sent the ball into the Manchester United goal. The score became a 1-1 draw.

However, another player chosen by Amorim in the starting lineup - central defender Maguire once again became the winning hero. He edged out Lenny Yoro to become a member of the starting eleven and proved his worth late in the game. After B Fee took a corner kick, he got the ball that was cleared. He sent it directly to the goal. Maguire headed the ball over the top and broke the goal guarded by George Mamadashvili.

2-1! Maguire joins Rooney, Juan Mata, Robin van Persie, Tevez, O'Shea, Ryan Giggs and Diego Forlan as one of the players to score the winning goal for Manchester United at Anfield. That he remains at Manchester United shows his perseverance. Although he is not the main player this season, Maguire never relaxes his demands on himself and always tries his best to fight.

At the beginning of this year, Maguire missed a stoppage-time winner in the double-header match at Anfield last season. But this time, he didn't let the opportunity slip away. After the game, England's £80 million defender, who was elected the best player in the game, said: "We have waited too long for this moment. We have gone through difficult times in the past few years. We know how much this victory means to the fans. People always say that the game is only 3 points, but today's victory is far more important than 3 points."

But Maguire also reminded the team: "In every game, we must maintain fighting spirit and positivity. Extreme mental state. We must ensure that we show this spirit in the game against Brighton next Saturday. If so, I believe the fans will have another enjoyable night."

Liverpool still had a chance to equalize at the end of the game, but Gakpo's header from close range missed the target and Manchester United finally held on to win 2-1. The victory was well deserved as the Red Devils led for 83 minutes. Liverpool is obviously in a sluggish state. In addition to Gakpo's repeated missed opportunities, Salah's shot when no one is guarding is more like a clearance..

This is the first time Manchester United has won an away game in the Premier League since March this year, and it is also the first away victory against Liverpool since January 2016. It ended the embarrassing record of 9 consecutive league games without a win (5 draws and 4 losses) at Anfield Stadium.

Manchester United finally achieved the achievement of winning two consecutive Premier League games again. The last consecutive league wins were the last two games of the 2023/24 season and the first game of the 2024/25 season. The Red Devils are the last team among the 17 teams that have been in the Premier League so far last season to win two consecutive league games, but Amorim finally did it.

Amorim has been facing tremendous pressure, but this victory may be a turning point and may become a key battle that determines the success or failure of his coaching career at Manchester United.

After the game, Amorim said: "The fans will say that it is of great significance to finally win in a row after such a long time, and the opponent is Liverpool. For me, the important thing is to win consecutively. It does not matter who the opponent is, the key is the joy brought by the victory. Now we have to work hard to win three consecutive victories. This is our goal."

The Manchester United coach added: "I am proud of the victory. The players are happy, they are fighting hard. Our possession of the ball could have been better, but the team spirit is what we have always emphasized. It is a great day for the fans, but now we have to turn our attention to the next game."

Someone asked Amorim: "Has the storm passed?" "I have no idea," he replied after thinking for a while, "If we can maintain the same fighting spirit as today in training and games, then we can win many games. But we have to show it with actions. Today is indeed a good day, and now we have to focus on Brighton. We will make further plans after the game against Brighton."
