LFC 7, MUFC 0

Seven. 

 

The number you're unlikely to forget for a long time to come because yesterday, Liverpool turned it on at Anfield to pummel Manchester United 7-0! 

 

Seven stunners from Gakpo, Nunez, Gakpo, Salah, Nunez, Salah and Firmino, in that order.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was really anxious, edgy and tense before kick-off – the Red Devils in fine form and Jürgen Klopp’s men being cursed with inconsistency this season. 

 

But thank God, Liverpool rose to the occasion. Goal (43) after goal (47) after goal (50) after goal (66) after goal (76) after goal (83) after goal (88). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Reds showed how ruthless they were against Man United, from Cody Gakpo‘s first-half goal creating a crack in the armor, to another six goals scored in 41 stunning second-half minutes. 

 

Even for me, words are going to be hard to come by and even if they do, they will be clearly inadequate. It's so much better to watch the goal-scoring feats. Verily, the biggest scoreline against our old rivals is a must-watch – check out all seven goals here!

Manchester United had lost by the same margin to Blackburn Rovers in 1926, to Aston Villa in 1930 and to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1931. None of those will be mentioned in the same breath as this truly remarkable game because of who inflicted it and where.

 

And in case you didn't know, Mohamed Salah scored his 128th and 129th goals in 205 appearances in the league for Liverpool on Sunday. And became Liverpool's all-time top Premier League scorer. Hail to the Egyptian King!
