Manchester United ended their four-game losing streak and denied Liverpool a clear run toward the Premier League title in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Anfield on Sunday. The result leaves Liverpool six points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand, ahead of second-placed Arsenal.
However, the draw was a missed opportunity for Liverpool, who had fought back from a 1-0 deficit to take a 2-1 lead through Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah’s penalty.
United, who were enduring a rough patch, took the lead in spectacular fashion through Lisandro Martinez, snapping a six-year goal drought at Anfield.
Amad Diallo then struck an equalizer in the 80th minute, securing a point for United following a much-improved performance.
This draw lifted United to 13th in the table, seven points clear of the relegation zone.Liverpool manager Arne Slot had warned before the match that United were “much better” than their league position suggested, and his words rang true.
Despite a dismal 2-0 loss to Newcastle earlier in the week, United showed resilience, aided by the return of captain Bruno Fernandes, Manuel Ugarte from suspension, and Kobbie Mainoo to the starting lineup.
Liverpool had early chances to break the deadlock, with Gakpo missing narrowly and Alexis Mac Allister forcing goalkeeper Andre Onana into a fine save.
