Manchester United broke a four-match losing streak Sunday with a 2-2 draw over Liverpool in the Sunday English Premier League match at Anfield. The draw was a setback for title-chasing Liverpool, who were left leading second-placed Arsenal by six points with a game in hand.
For Liverpool manager Arne Slott, the home draw was a missed opportunity. “Definitely, we lost two points,” Slott said after the game. United celebrated a six-year drought without a goal at Anfield being broken as Lisandro Martinez scored the opener for visitors.
In response, Liverpool responded with Cody Gakpo finding the net and Mohamed Salah converting a penalty to put the hosts ahead but United’s Emad Diello leveled matters in the 80th minute to seal an important point for the visitors.
The draw rockets Manchester United into 13th, now seven points clear of the relegation zone.In his post-match reflection, United captain Bruno Fernandes said, looking frustrated, “Why can’t we play the way we played today? It makes me sad.”
Elsewhere in the Premier League on Sunday, another draw came in as Fulham and Ipswich Town also finished all square 2-2.
