From the man behind the football king to the football king

After the change of sides, neither team made any substitutions, but both teams increased their pressing efforts and got more and more opportunities.

In the 47th minute, Mane made a cross pass to the penalty area, and Salah made a cross pass to the penalty area. Unfortunately, the Egyptian winger missed the goal and knelt down to hammer the grass in frustration.

In the 48th minute, Liverpool made an efficient and quick counterattack. After three passes and two falls, Henderson suddenly attacked at the top of the penalty area. He shot with his left foot. De Gea touched the ball with his fingertips and hit the post. Manchester United escaped the fate of being scored for the third time.

But Manchester United quickly responded and threatened Liverpool's city continuously.

In the 56th minute of the game, Manchester United also made a wonderful and quick counterattack. After Kante and Bruno successfully surrounded Wijnaldum in the midfield, they broke through to the top of the arc with the ball and almost broke through the Liverpool goal guarded by Alisson with a long shot.

Two minutes later, Manchester United once again played a beautiful quick counterattack. Mbappe and Bruno hit the wall and then entered the penalty area. Unfortunately, a shot from the left side fired a cannon!

The game gradually fell into a stalemate. Of course, this does not mean that the game became dull and ugly. In fact, the two sides played back and forth, which was wonderful.

In the 62nd minute, Liverpool quickly counterattacked. Mane passed Maguire and entered the penalty area. He fell to the ground and shot slightly off!

4 minutes later, Kante intercepted the ball and resisted Wijnaldum. A long shot at the top of the arc was saved by Alisson!

In the 71st minute, Luke Shaw fouled and blocked Salah's breakthrough and received a yellow card!

………………

Seeing that the score was deadlocked, the head coaches of both sides were ready to make substitutions.

In the 73rd minute, Manchester United made substitutions. Mourinho replaced Gundogan and Rashford with veteran Mata and young Greenwood!

These two substitutions allowed Manchester United to gradually take the initiative on the field, but they were unable to overtake the score. Klopp, who saw the situation was not good, also made substitutions.

In the 81st minute, Liverpool made substitutions, Fabinho and Origi came on the field, replacing Mane and Firmino!

The two sides were still fighting fiercely on the field, but the score remained at 1:1, and neither side was able to break through the opponent's defense.

In the 86th minute, Mourinho played his last trump card and replaced Luke Shaw with young player Dalot.

This substitution also revealed Mourinho's intention, that is, he intended to accept the current 1:1 situation and intend to call it a day at Anfield to keep the current results.

However, Manchester United can accept the result of a draw with Liverpool at Anfield, but Liverpool, who are aiming to win the first league championship in the Premier League era, will not agree to such a situation. They continued to attack Manchester United's goal frantically amid the singing of 50,000 fans at home.

However, the score on the field has not changed, and the game has entered a 3-minute injury time.

………………

Just when the game was about to end in a draw, the situation changed.

In the 92nd minute of the game, Manchester United's corner kick was cleared, and Alisson kicked forward to find Salah, who quickly inserted into the single-handed attack and scored with a push shot against De Gea, 2:1!

Alisson, who made an assist, also slid to his knees to celebrate, and Salah, who scored against Manchester United for the first time in his career, was also given a yellow card for taking off his clothes to celebrate!

What was originally a scoring opportunity for the team was that the opponent counterattacked and broke the goal, which made Manchester United players including Bruno unacceptable.

It was just that after the game restarted and Manchester United kicked off from the center circle, the referee blew three whistles for the whole game, without giving Manchester United a chance to continue attacking.

At the end of the game, Liverpool defeated Manchester United 2:1 and won 15 consecutive home games across the season!

After Manchester United ended another wave of 25 unbeaten games across the season, when the schedule was about to pass two-thirds, it was already 4 points behind Liverpool in the standings!

After the game, many British media said that after losing this Premier League battle, Manchester United has been drifting away from the Premier League championship this season, and it is difficult for them to win the first four consecutive championships in the history of the Premier League!

………………

The news that Manchester United lost to Liverpool and suffered their first defeat of the season became one of the most watched news in the world this weekend. Major media in various countries reported this event. And most media began to be optimistic about Liverpool winning the Premier League championship this season.

Just when the whole world began to look down on Manchester United, they quickly stopped the decline.

Three days later, on the evening of January 22, in the 24th round of the Premier League, Manchester United played against Burnley at home.

Burnley, who played away, took the lead in launching an attack and frequently created threats from the beginning of the game. In the second and fourth minutes, he created two consecutive dangerous situations. One of them was almost a single-handed attack after receiving a direct pass, but at the critical moment, Van Dijk decisively slid in the penalty area to clear the siege.

Manchester United then quickly stabilized its position, using its home advantage and passing and controlling the ball to stabilize the rhythm, and effectively formed defense against the opponent's two wings, forcing Burnley's subsequent attack to be difficult to create threats.

In the first ten minutes, Manchester United only had one shot, from Bruno, but it did not pose a threat. However, Manchester United's defense was good, and Burnley was also restricted and failed to create a threat.

Both teams played targeted tactics and played an important role. It was difficult for anyone to break through the opponent's defense in the game, making the game intense but a bit dull.

Both sides were very dedicated and spared no effort to break through the opponent's defense, but at the same time they were trying to avoid mistakes.

But in the 31st minute, Manchester United launched a counterattack. Left-back Luke Shaw pushed the ball across the center line and passed it to Bruno in the middle.

The Manchester United captain dribbled the ball all the way forward and suddenly passed it to the left and gave it to Rashford. Rashford got the ball on the left and was closely guarded by the opponent's right-back. When passing the ball, the ball accidentally touched the opponent's foot and failed to fly into the penalty area to find Harry Kane, but fell on the left side of the penalty area.

Bruno quickly caught up from behind, took the ball off before everyone else, and shot directly with his left foot. The ball shot into Burnley's goal at a very fast speed, and Manchester United took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field.

All the fans in the stadium cheered wildly, shouting Bruno's name constantly.

All Manchester United players also rushed out of the field and hugged Bruno together to celebrate this hard-won goal.

………………

In the 67th minute of the game, Manchester United once again intercepted the opponent's lateral pass in the middle. Luke Shaw suddenly rushed forward, intercepted Burnley's pass, and quickly dribbled forward, launching a counterattack along the left. After being counter-robbed by Burnley players, he quickly passed the ball to Bruno in the middle.

The Manchester United captain was also closely guarded by the opponent. After receiving the ball, he was unable to move forward directly and was forced to turn around to protect the ball and pass it horizontally to Gundogan, who sent it directly to the right without stopping.

After Mbappe stopped Gundogan's pass on the right, he saw Cancelo deliberately pressing forward, took the initiative to dribble inside, and then suddenly passed to the bottom line. Manchester United's right back sprinted quickly and caught up with Mbappe's pass.

But this time, Burnley's left back also reacted very quickly, chasing Cancelo all the way, not allowing him to have the opportunity to pass directly or cut inside, forcing Cancelo to suddenly stop on the right side of the penalty area and pass the ball back.

Mbappe stopped the ball behind Cancelo and looked up at the penalty area.

Harry Kane was standing right between the two Burnley central defenders, but he pointed to the position behind him, which was obviously a hint to Mbappe to pass the ball to this position.

Mbappe did not wait for Burnley's defenders to come up, adjusted, and passed the ball directly to the penalty spot in the middle of the penalty area with a very low pressure and a very fast speed.

………………

"Manchester United attacked from the right, Cancelo had no chance, and passed it back to Mbappe."

"Mbappe adjusted, passed the ball low to the penalty area, looking for Harry Kane."

"Harry Kane blocked the two Burnley central defenders with his body, stopped the ball, turned around, and shot directly!"

"The ball went in!!!!!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLL!!!!!!"

"In the 68th minute, in the 68th minute, Manchester United scored the second goal of the game!"

"Harry Kane scored a very wonderful goal."

"We can see from the slow-motion replay that Mbappe's The cross ball landed in a good place, just near Harry Kane's right foot, and the English center forward stopped the ball directly to his left, blocked the opponent's two central defenders with his body, turned around and shot directly. "

"The shot came very suddenly, and the Burnley goalkeeper obviously did not expect that Harry Kane could turn around and shoot in the double-team of two central defenders, which fully demonstrated Harry Kane's super personal ability. "

"Of course, Mbappe's cross ball on the right was also quite accurate. "

………………

After losing the ball again, Burnley seemed a little impatient and began to try to counterattack. After all, they had just created dangers in front of Manchester United's goal many times in a row, and they were only one step away from scoring.

Manchester United began to stabilize their defense and focus on counterattacks.

Less than six minutes after the second goal, when Burnley attacked the frontcourt, the pass was intercepted by Kante, and Gundogan directly found Harry Kane in the frontcourt with a long pass.

The Manchester United center forward dribbled forward, and the Manchester United trident started at the same time, quickly forming a three-on-three frontcourt, especially Mbappe on the right. After Burnley's right back stepped forward to participate in the attack, his side was basically empty.

Harry Kane knew that he was slow to dribble the ball, so he immediately sent the ball to the right. Mbappe quickly dribbled the ball to the right side of Burnley's penalty area, attracted the defensive players, and suddenly knocked it back to Harry Kane who was unguarded in the penalty area. The latter stopped, adjusted slightly, and shot a low shot with his right foot, sending the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.

3:0!
