Liverpool failed to beat Manchester United as the derby finished without a winner – 2-2 at Anfield as the Reds were the big favorite before the match but the Red Devils showed why they are one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League.
Nothing from what all football fans expected happen in the 1st half as the Reds didn’t dominate and they even failed to score in the 1st 45 minutes of the derby. The Reds Devils also didn’t have any major chances as the 1st half ended without goals as both teams had 2 corners each but that didn’t lead to anything.

However, the 2nd half was a lot more interesting as only a few minutes after the beginning of the 2nd 45 minutes we saw a goal but not from the team that everyone expected. Manchester United took the lead as Lisandro Martinez netted after an assist from its captain Bruno Fernandes in the 52nd minute. However, the Reds Devils lead lasted only a few minutes because Cody Gakpo pasted a few defenders in the 59th minute and with a phenomenal shot into the top right corner tied the result.
Mohamed Salah converted penalty in the 70th minute as that’s when everybody thought that there is no way back for the Red Devils but Amad Diallo tied the result in the 80th minute.
In the last seconds Manchester United had a phenomenal chance to win but Maguire failed to score as he received the ball alone inside Liverpool’s penalty area.
