Cameroon forward Bryan Mbeumo was on the score sheet, but it was Harry Maguire’s late goal that secured a 2-1 win for Manchester United over arch-rivals Liverpool at Anfield in Sunday’s Premier League clash.
Mbeumo wasted no time in making an impact, doubling his season tally just 63 seconds into the match and putting early pressure on Arne Slot’s Liverpool side.
Cody Gakpo pulled the hosts level in the 78th minute with a well-taken finish, but Manchester United regained the lead six minutes later as Harry Maguire struck in the 84th minute to seal all three points for the visitors.
The result marks Liverpool’s fourth straight defeat, extending their recent poor run of form.
