Harry Maguire and Bryan Mbeumo play pivotal roles in away win against Liverpool

On Sunday, Manchester United outlasted Liverpool in a close encounter, winning 2-1 away the Premier League.

Manchester United are now in eighth place, while Liverpool are in third place.

Manchester United chocked Liverpool when Bryan Mbeumo netted in the second minute on a pass from Amad Diallo.

C. Gakpo equalised for Liverpool with an assist by Federico Chiesa , in the 78th minute.

With six minutes left to play, Manchester United's Harry Maguire scored the decider, with an assist by Bruno Fernandes.

"We had more than enough chances to score. Mo missed a big one. Some others missed a big chances. We are not used to this," Liverpool boss Arne Slot told Sky Sports.

"We needed a goal, but we needed a player who could create something in that end phase. That's what Jeremie [Frimpong, who came on for Salah] did, he had a great action, crossed to Cody. If we had been 3-0 up, Cody would have scored. I cannot guarantee this. So every player has tried everything. But it didn't work out for us," he added.
