Liverpool's Premier League Title Challenge Dented by Man Utd Draw
Sensational Strikes from Fernandes and Mainoo Snatch a Point for Red Devils
Liverpool's pursuit of the Premier League title suffered a setback on Saturday as Manchester United came from behind twice to secure a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford. Despite Mohamed Salah's early opener, the Red Devils produced two stunning goals from Bruno Fernandes and substitute Kobbie Mainoo to claim a share of the spoils.
Fernandes Stunner Levels the Score
After a bright start from Liverpool, United found themselves behind in the eighth minute when Salah converted from the penalty spot following a handball by Lisandro Martinez. However, the hosts responded with a moment of brilliance from Fernandes. The Portuguese midfielder unleashed a stunning long-range effort that left Alisson Becker with no chance.
Mainoo Scores on Dream Debut
Liverpool regained the lead in the second half through Cody Gakpo, but United once again showed their resilience. With just 10 minutes remaining, 17-year-old Mainoo, making his Premier League debut, produced a spectacular chip shot that soared over Alisson and into the net, securing a well-deserved draw for the Red Devils.
Liverpool's Title Hopes Dented
The result leaves Liverpool a point behind leaders Arsenal, while Manchester United move to within a point of second place. The draw marks a significant setback for Jurgen Klopp's side, who have now dropped points in two of their last three league games.
