56
18:43
Robertson nearly with the 4:0! Gakpo holds the ball against three defenders at the penalty spot and then crosses it for his Scottish colleague, who wants to flick the ball into the right angle. Centimeters are missing for aluminum.
55
18:42
Alisson wobbles, but he doesn’t fall! After a back pass, the LFC keeper puts the ball too far in front of him and gets under pressure from the attacking Rashford. Only with great effort and a lot of luck can he prevent the Englishman from capitalizing on this dropout.

Yellow card for Antony (Manchester United)
Luckily, the Brazilian’s very high right leg caught Robertson on the head deep in the opposition half. Nevertheless, Antony cannot avoid a warning.

Liverpool manages the quick second goal! After winning the ball high, Salah puts it back on the deep right side of the sixteen for Elliott, who gives a sharp half-height into the six-yard box from twelve yards. Núñez threw up his forehead from close range and sent the net twitching behind De Gea.
46
18:31
Welcome back to the second leg at Anfield! United initially struggled with their hosts’ ambush-like approach but gradually found better and better tactical adjustments and looked on course for a goal when Klopp’s force struck.

Mid-term conclusion:
Liverpool FC lead 1-0 at half-time in their Premier League home game against local rivals Manchester United FC. The hosts determined the initial phase with high ball possession values and field advantages, but the first compelling opportunity belonged to the guest; Antony failed from middle distance to Alisson (11th). In a fairly intense comparison, the Reds kept appearing in the opponent’s sixteen, but it wasn’t until the 24th minute before they got their first good chance through Núñez, who shot well over the visitors’ box from close range (24th minute). ). A little later, Bruno Fernandes headed just wide of the lead (27′) and Rashford also missed from a good position (29′). In the last quarter of an hour, the ten Hag team initially put much more offensive accents, but in the last few meters Liverpool secured the break advantage: After Robertson’s preparatory work, Gakpo completed the penalty area coldly in the flat right corner (43rd). See you soon!

Tooor for Liverpool FC, 1-0 through Cody Gakpo
Gakpo makes Anfield tremble just before the cabin aisle! Robertson’s through ball on the left wing lets the Dutchman emerge in the box. He passes Varane on the right and thunders the ball from 13 meters without compromise with the right instep into the flat right corner.
42
18:12
Casemiro lets Bruno Fernandes’ free-kick cross from the middle seven meters over his forehead into the half-left corner of the home box. Because of a clear, directly recognized offside position, the ex-Madrilenian doesn’t even get to celebrate.
41
18:10
Fabinho (Liverpool FC) is shown a yellow card.
Fabinho comes in midfield a step too late against Rashford at increased pace. The first warning of the game is due.
39
18:08
Dalot crosses from the right wing behind the opposing central defense. But Rashford switched too late and at least missed a free header from a good position.
37
18:05
Shaw strongly contends for the first yellow card, taking down Salah in the center circle to stop a quick Reds counterattack. Referee Andy Madley still lets them stick.
34
18:03
Shaw spins a free kick from the left flank onto the penalty spot. Dalot climbs the highest there and nods heavily at the LFC housing. But the attempt is misplaced and sails straight into Alisson’s hands.
32
18:01
Antony counters after a long shot by Bruno Fernandes via the left wing. He wants to serve Rashford with a half-high cross in the box. Konaté intercepts the pass and clears the ball out.
29
17:58
Another good chance for United! A volleyball from midfield flies over the home defense and lands at Rashford, who takes off directly from the central edge of the sixteen with his right inside instep. The shot, which is a little too weak, is easy prey for Alisson in the half-right corner.
27
17:56
Bruno Fernandes are missing centimeter to 0:1! Dalot gets behind the opposing defensive line for the first time via the right. He crosses sharply in the direction of the long corner. His compatriot nods from six meters and an acute angle against Alisson’s running direction to the right corner. The ball rushes wafer-thin past the aluminum.
24
17:54
Liverpool is becoming more purposeful! Moments after a shot blocked by Robertson in dire need, he crosses from the deep left wing to the central five-man edge. Núñez is ahead of Varane, but shoots well over from the best position.
21
17:50
Núñez shoots from the half-right edge of the five just wide of the left pole. Because the Uruguayan was clearly offside, a goal would not have counted anyway.
19
17:48
Rashford wants to pass a flat pass from midfield in the half-right offensive lane directly into Fred’s run. The pass for the Brazilian is much too steep and lands on defender Konaté.
16
17:45
Salah wants to flick the ball into the left corner with his left foot after Fabinho moves it flat to the half-right edge of the box. But the Egyptian’s soft shot is set too high; De Gea doesn’t even have to take off.
14
17:43
After a somewhat passive start, the guests set the first scent marks in the form of longer ball possession phases. If they start today with their local rivals, they would extend their lead in fifth place to a whopping eleven points.
11.
17:40
The first chance belongs to the Red Devils! Antony pulls inwards in the half-right offensive corridor and circles the ball from 18 meters with his left inside instep onto the flat left corner. Alisson is quick down and saves with a right hand at the expense of a corner. It’s harmless.

Robertson doesn’t manage to get past Dalot on the left flank, but he forces the first corner ball against the Portuguese…
5.
