Manchester United snapped their four-game losing streak with a crucial 2-2 draw against league leaders Liverpool, slowing the Reds' march toward the Premier League title. In front of a packed Anfield, the match was filled with drama as Liverpool came close to victory before a late United comeback.
Despite the draw, Liverpool remains six points ahead of Arsenal with a game in hand. However, Arne Slot’s side left the pitch disappointed, having led 2-0 until the 80th minute with goals from Cody Gakpo and a Mohamed Salah penalty. "It feels like we lost two points," Slot admitted post-match.
Manchester United, meanwhile, ended their six-year goal drought at Anfield. Lisandro Martinez brought the visitors back into the game with a spectacular strike under the crossbar in the 52nd minute. Amad Diallo completed the comeback in the 80th minute with a well-timed finish, earning United a deserved point that lifts them to 13th place, seven points clear of the relegation zone.
