For the first time in eleven years, Liverpool lost four straight games as Manchester United defeated them 2-1 on Sunday, ending their nearly ten-year losing streak at Anfield. For the first time during Ruben Amorim's career as United manager, Harry Maguire's header in the 84th minute gave the team back-to-back Premier League victories.
After just 61 seconds, Cody Gakpo had eliminated Bryan Mbeumo's opening with twelve minutes remaining. After spending around £450 million, Arne Slot is still unsure of how to get the ideal mix, and the loss puts Liverpool four points behind Arsenal at the top of the standings. United had not experienced victory at Anfield since the beginning of Jurgen Klopp's rule in January 2016, and Liverpool had only lost one of their previous 14 Premier League encounters. But after making changes to the team that won the championship the previous season and losing Diogo Jota in a car accident in July, the Reds are in a state of uncertainty.
