Liverpool passed over its biggest rival, Manchester United, in the England classic played this Sunday in the country's Premier League.
The score ended 7-0 in favor of the Reds, in a win that had never been seen before in the history of the rivalry between these two teams.
It is also the heaviest defeat for Manchester United since December 26, 1931.
Liverpool's biggest score against United had been almost 128 years ago.
On October 12, 1895, the Reds scored seven goals against Manchester United in what was the first historic meeting between the two clubs (when United was called Newton Heath).
Back then, the score was 7-1, according to Bleacher Report.
