Anfield has found a smile, and how!

Humiliated at home against Real Madrid in the Champions League two weeks ago (5-2 defeat), Jurgen Klopp's players did everything to make amends this Sunday.

Dominating in all areas of the game, the Reds blew up Manchester United in the second period, with devastating attacking transitions in particular.

A 7-0 victory that goes down in English football history.

The Reds Devils however made a good showing in the first period by creating several chances, without being really dangerous.

With this season's Liverpool that would surely have been enough, but this Sunday was the return of the great Liverpool.

After opening the scoring at the best of times with a goal from Cody Gakpo just before half-time (43'), the Reds showed no mercy.

Anfield madness

Carried by the support of an entire stadium in fusion after the first goal, the Reds began the second act as they finished the first, that is to say with a goal.

And even two goals in three minutes on goals from Nunez (47') and Gakpo (50').

At that time, at 3-0, the match already seemed to fold, but the Reds, carried by the madness of Anfield wanted to bring hell to Manchester United.

Superior in intensity and ultra-efficient in the area, Liverpool left nothing to their opponent.

It was the rapid offensive transitions in particular that hurt a desperate Mancunian defense.

Salah, Gakpo and Nunez each scored twice while Firmino completed the masterpiece with the seventh goal late in the game (88').

With this success, Liverpool regains confidence, but above all makes a good operation in the standings by returning to three points from Tottenham and qualifying places for the Champions League.

For its part, Manchester United let Manchester City and Arsenal fly away and probably said goodbye to the title tonight.
