Liverpool, who had finished 34 times, was unable to score in their home 0-0 draw with Manchester United. Following round 17 of the Premier League, Liverpool conceded losing their position atop the table.
Man Utd agreed to sit deep and field a fairly small group in defense. Erik ten Hag, the coach, was forced to pitch a patchwork team for this particular match.
Liverpool exerted intense pressure on Andre Onana’s goal in the first fifteen minutes. The goals from Mohamed Salah and Ibrahima Konate gave Liverpool supporters a great deal of optimism. Nonetheless, Manchester United’s defense performed admirably in this game.

Luke Shaw concentrated on the left corridor, which caused Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold a lot of trouble. With Harry Maguire out of the picture, Jonny Evans and Raphael Varane collaborated admirably as center defenders.
Dominik Szoboszlai was supposed to be the one to establish the connections on the field in the absence of conductor Alexis Mac Allister. However, the Hungary player was unable to fulfill this responsibility since he kept misplacing the ball and was out of step with his teammates.

Even the best player, Mohamed Salah, was “locked to death” by Luke Shaw, had numerous misdirected passes, and had just one shot in the opening forty-five minutes, failing to beat Andre Onana.
The most hazardous Liverpool opportunity of the first half stemmed from a set play. Virgil van Dijk leaped high to head Alexander-Arnold’s well-placed corner kick in the 28th minute, but Onana superbly blocked it. Liverpool dominated the first half of the match but were unable to score.
In an attempt to relieve some of the strain on the home pitch as the second half began, Man Utd tried to uplift the players. As it happened, coach Erik ten Hag’s adjustments worked. Man Utd played confidently and eventually mounted a powerful comeback.

Alenjandro Garnacho confronted Alisson Becker in the 55th minute after Kobbie Mainoo’s ball, but Alexander-Arnold was able to step in and prevent the Man United striker from finishing. Man Utd launched a brilliant counterattack shortly after. Rasmus Hoijlund was given a pass by Scott McTomminay, but the Danish star squandered the chance to put the ball in the net when it was quite close.
Man Utd’s defensemen continue to play with a surprisingly high level of concentration. They easily stopped a large number of Liverpool’s attacks. The Anfield team did not win against Andre Onana even on a day when Darwin Nunez and Salah had poor performances.
Diogo Dalot was sent off for responding to the referee during extra time. But Liverpool could not capitalize on their advantage in the remaining minutes.
