Talking about the match, Manchester United were 4-0 in the first half thanks to a ruthless performance by Liverpool and United fans lost the glimmer of hope they had when midfielder Paul Pogba was shown the red card after a dangerous tackle on Nabi Keita. Notably, Pogba, who came as a sub in the second half, played for 15 mins and got Manchester United down to 10 men.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah became the first player to score a hattrick at the Old Trafford for Liverpool since Fred Howe in 1936. It perfectly explains what Liverpool achieved this Sunday and what it means to them, to win at the biggest English Stadium against their oldest and biggest rivals. It was supposed to be English football's biggest game but it turned out to be a one-sided affair as Liverpool destroyed Manchester United 5-0. 

The Red Devils will now be looking to forget this defeat and focus on upcoming games as they still have big fixtures coming up with facing Tottenham next week and Atlanta in the Champions League which will be an away game in Italy. Later in November, United will lock horns with their arch-rivals Manchester City who are currently the titleholders.
