Certainly, one of the top football matches of the past weekend was the Sunday confrontation between two titans of European football.

It happened in the English Premier League. Manchester United and Liverpool fought.

Even without the Merseysiders' head coach Jurgen Klopp (the team was headed by the specialist from the Netherlands, Arne Slot), the "Reds" defeated the Red Devils.

Moreover, on their field, on that same legendary “theatre of dreams” – Old Trafford stadium.

The teams met in the third round of the English Premier League.

It was September 1, 2024, in Manchester. The hosts conceded three unanswered goals, which greatly upset the tens of thousands of fans who came to the match.

Luis Diaz scored twice for the unstoppable Liverpool side on Sunday (35th and 42nd minutes).

And how could we do without the Reds' key player, Egypt national team forward Mohamed Salah. He scored in the 56th minute.

It is worth noting that Liverpool won all three matches at the start of the season and with 9 points scored shares the first position in the table with Manchester City.

Defeated at home, Manchester United have only three points and currently occupy a rather unfortunate 14th place.
