Manchester United produced an completely unexpected 2-1 victory over long time rivals Liverpool in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Monday.
This follows protests against their American owners and after their worst start to a season in over a century.
United’s win for their first points of the campaign, thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, left Juergen Klopp’s Liverpool without a victory from their opening three games and with just two points.
Sancho put United ahead in the 16th minute, showing great composure as he collected a pull-back from Anthony Elanga, left James Milner on his backside and then slotted the ball into the bottom corner.
United extended their lead after the break. A mistake by Jordan Henderson allowed substitute Anthony Martial to send Rashford clear and the England forward kept his cool to slot past Alisson in the 53rd minute for his first league goal since January.
Mohamed Salah scored an 81st-minute consolation but it was another below-par display from Liverpool.
