Manchester United Stuns Livepool With Late Drama 2-2 Draw at Anfield

A captivating second-half performance from both teams eclipsed a dull first half as Liverpool hosted Manchester United in a pulsating Premier League encounter at Anfield on Sunday. The match ended 2-2, with both sides showcasing moments of brilliance and missed opportunities.

Manchester United stunned the Anfield crowd early in the second half when Lisandro Martinez unleashed a thunderous strike in the 51st minute to give the Red Devils the lead. However, Liverpool responded swiftly as Cody Gakpo curled a sensational effort past André Onana to level the score.

The Reds gained the upper hand when talisman Mohamed Salah converted a penalty after Matthijs de Ligt was penalized for a handball in the box. Liverpool seemed poised for a routine victory until Amad Diallo, fresh off his heroics at the Etihad, struck again, this time with a composed finish to snatch a late equalizer for United.

In the dying moments of the match, United’s Harry Maguire had a golden opportunity to secure all three points. However, the center-back overhit a well-crafted pass from Zirkzee, leaving fans on both sides with mixed emotions.

The draw sees Liverpool miss the chance to open a nine-point gap over Arsenal, who also dropped points at Brighton on Saturday. Meanwhile, Manchester United ended their losing streak, salvaging a much-needed result in this thrilling 2024/25 Premier League showdown.
