Liverpool fans once again had a day to remember at Old Trafford on Sunday, relishing every moment as their team cruised to a 3-0 victory over Manchester United.
The scoreline accurately reflected the Reds’ dominance, and in truth, Arne Slot’s side could have inflicted even more damage with the number of chances they created.
While this win was satisfying, it doesn’t eclipse the most famous victory Liverpool has secured over their arch-rivals in recent years. That honor belongs to the unforgettable 7-0 thrashing at Anfield just 18 months ago, a result that has firmly etched itself into modern club folklore.
The significance of that historic day was evident once again at Old Trafford. In the latest episode of Inside, a series on Liverpool’s official YouTube channel, fans in the away section were spotted holding balloons shaped like the numbers 7 and 0, a playful yet powerful reminder of the drubbing United received last year.
At one stage during the match, it felt like Liverpool might deliver a similarly crushing defeat, given their complete control in the second half. Although the final score didn’t quite reach the same heights, the 3-0 win was still incredibly satisfying, especially considering Liverpool had failed to defeat United in their previous three encounters last season.
For those interested, you can catch a glimpse of the celebratory balloons at the 8:12 mark in the video, available on Liverpool FC’s official YouTube channel.
