On Sunday, September 1, a classic English showdown took place as Manchester United hosted Liverpool at Old Trafford.

The match quickly deviated from Erik ten Hag's plan in the first half, resulting in two goals scored by Liverpool before the break. Luis Díaz scored twice, with both assists coming from Mohamed Salah.

Notably, both conceded goals had clear errors from United midfielder Casemiro. In the first instance, he gave away possession with an inaccurate pass, and in the second, Díaz easily dispossessed the experienced midfielder before scoring.

Early in the second half, Mohamed Salah added his name to the scoreboard at Old Trafford, setting several records and reaffirming his status as Manchester United's "nemesis."

The Egyptian has been directly involved in 17 goals against United in the Premier League (11 goals, 6 assists), more than any player against the "Red Devils" in the competition's history.

Additionally, he became the highest-scoring player at Old Trafford in Premier League history, with seven goals at the stadium!

Moreover, Salah has now scored in 7 consecutive matches against Manchester United.

No other significant events occurred in the match. Arne Slot secured his first major victory as Liverpool's manager, while Ten Hag experienced another humiliating defeat.
