Manchester United secured a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday, claiming their first victory at the historic ground since 20216.
The result also marks United’s first back-to-back wins under manager Ruben Amorim, signaling a possible turnaround in form for the Red Devils.
Harry Maguire’s 84th minute header secured back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time in Amorim’s tenure as United boss.
In the 78th minute, Cody Gakpo cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo’s opener after just 61 seconds.
The defeat leaves Liverpool four points adrift of Arsenal at the top of the table and Arne Slot still searching for answers in how to get the right blend after splashing out nearly £450 million ($604 million) on new players in the transfer market.

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.
Maguire said: “It means everything. They had had the better of us over the last few years and it’s not been good for our club.
“We have not given our fans enough days like today, so it has been a long time coming, coming to this ground and picking up three points.”
Liverpool had only lost one of the previous 14 Premier League meetings between the sides and United had not tasted victory at Anfield since the early days of Jurgen Klopp’s reign in January 2016.
