United End Anfield Drought With 2-1 Win

Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield, their first Premier League win there since Wayne Rooney’s 2016 goal. Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring after about 62 seconds, Cody Gakpo levelled in the 78th minute, and Harry Maguire's 84th‑minute header sealed the victory. Mbeumo’s early goal was controversial after Alexis Mac Allister was left with a head injury from a collision that the referee did not see and play continued. The result gave Ruben Amorim back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time in his United tenure and left Liverpool with a fourth straight defeat across all competitions. Maguire, whose United future and contract have been uncertain after limited starts this season, said the Anfield win had been “preying on his mind” and called it a landmark for him, the squad and travelling fans.
