Wataru Endo scored a goal in the 37th minute. However, the referee annulled it because there was an offside violation in the process of the goal. Liverpool actually equalized the score in the 44th minute. Mac Allister successfully beats Onana from inside the penalty box!
The visiting team even succeeded in turning things around in injury time. Salah managed to score a goal using a thrown ball. Liverpool leads 2-1 over Man United.

Through a counter-attack, substitute Antony successfully kicked the ball in from inside the penalty box. Rashford got a golden opportunity in the final minutes but his shot went wide so the match ended 2-2.
Erik ten Hag’s team tried to take advantage of the momentum after taking a short break. Antony threatened again in the 92nd minute, but his shot went slightly over the crossbar. In the 101st minute, Lindelof threatened with a hard shot but it hit the outside of Kelleher’s goal.
However, Liverpool actually scored a goal through Elliott in the 105th minute. The English player’s long-range shot hit Harry Maguire and made Onana too late to anticipate.
