Liverpool Thrash Man United 7-0

Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah all scored twice as Liverpool shrugged off a season of frustration to thrash Manchester United 7-0 at Anfield on Sunday. 

 Jurgen Klopp’s men set a new record margin of victory in the clash between English football’s two most successful clubs. 

 Just a second defeat in 23 games in all competitions realistically ends United’s hopes of a first league title in a decade as they remain 14 points adrift of leaders Arsenal in third

. But there could even more lasting damage from the club’s heaviest defeat since 1931. Liverpool close to within three points of fourth-placed Tottenham with a game in hand on Spurs still to come. 

 Klopp’s side won the two league meetings between the teams by an aggregate score of 9-0 last season, but the tables had seemingly turned this season.

 A 2-1 win over the Reds in August gave Erik ten Hag his first win as United boss and they started the day 10 points clear of Liverpool.
