Despite being mortal enemies, Rashford also has to admire Liverpool's fighting spirit.

If other teams suffer such a blow, it may take a long time to recover, but Liverpool is not, after the restart, the fans sang in unison "You will never walk alone", the Liverpool players immediately burst into a strong fighting spirit and launched a fierce attack on the Manchester United goal.

However, Manchester United's morale also soared after the goal. In order to keep the win, they launched a head-to-head attack with Liverpool.

In the 54th minute, Liverpool had a good chance to score. Coutinho volleyed in front of the box from the left and fired a powerful long-range shot straight into the corner where the near post meets the crossbar.

However, De Gea was in great form today, making a flying save and slapping the ball over the crossbar just as it was about to go in.

Manchester United immediately took advantage of Liverpool's corner kick and the whole team pressed the opportunity to launch a quick counter-attack. Anthony Martial burst forward with the ball, but after half-time, he was unable to pass the ball in time and was surrounded by three opposing players.

Anthony Martial's rush to Juan Mata was seen through by the opposing left wing-back's Klein and was tackled.

But fortunately, Fellaini concentrated and immediately launched a counter-attack and grabbed the ball back.

United continued to organise the attack, Rojo carried the ball forward and handed the ball to Rashford in front of the penalty area, Rashford was under the close defense of the opponent's tall centre-back Sako, unable to turn around, but he saw that Rojo was still running forward, and he had the wit to send a clever backheel pass.

However, the breakthrough Rojo was a little slower by half a step and did not form a shot on goal, and was cleared early by Liverpool's other centre-back Lovren.

The cleared ball was collected by Blind and United continued to lay siege to the Liverpool goal. However, Rojo, who received a breakthrough pass from Blind in the penalty area, could not turn around and shoot, so he had to pass to Fellaini.

Fellaini had a chance to shoot, but his tall stature slowed down and his shot was blocked by Liverpool.

………………

Manchester United continued to lay siege to Liverpool's goal, which drew boos from Anfield fans. But to no avail, United still had possession of the ball and kept putting pressure on Liverpool's goal.

Through this period of continuous attack, Manchester United has recovered a lot of disadvantages in possession, and the possession rate of the two sides has been relatively close.

Obviously, the changes Van Gaal made in midfield had a more obvious effect. What was reflected on the pitch was not only an increase in possession, but also a succession of scoring opportunities.

In the 57th minute, Manchester United also had a good chance to score.

Juan Mata broke down the middle and United right-back Barella sent in a cross for Anthony Martial to head in on the line of the six-yard box, but this time Mignolet was in good position and slotted his header wide with both fists.

However, Manchester United soon made a comeback. The ball cleared by Liverpool was picked up by the Manchester United defenders and set off an attack again.

Marcus Rashford latched on to Blind's pass and slotted his foot on the left edge of the box before the ball arced beautifully into the back corner.

This time, Mignolet's attention was still on the spot, and he flew again to save the ball.

In the 62nd minute, United created another excellent chance to score.

Marcus Rashford broke through with the ball and after drawing the attention of the opposition defence, he sent a through ball. However, Anthony Martial, who cut forward, ran past and missed the chance to extend the scoreline.

………………

The team was besieged by Manchester United continuously, the situation was not good, and the score was behind, which made Klopp a little anxious.

With 63 minutes played, Jurgen Klopp made changes to his team. Joe Allen came on in place of Sturridge, who was already a little out of energy.

Jurgen Klopp's tweaks soon paid off, with a strengthened midfield that kept United's attack at bay and began to fight back.

In the 67th minute, Liverpool defender Klein fired a long-range shot from the top right corner of the penalty area, which was of high quality and forced David De Gea to make a fine save.

However, although it did not form a goal, Klein's attack still boosted the morale of the whole Liverpool team, allowing them to control the situation on the field again and threaten the United goal on many occasions.

In the 69th minute, Lallana broke through the bottom, and then reversed the triangle back to the middle of the penalty area, Henderson met the ball and pushed it, but it was very outrageous to hit the plane, making the scum uncle on the sidelines jump straight to his feet.

Liverpool's successive strong attacks did not break through Manchester United's goal, but in a subsequent counterattack, they received a big gift from Manchester United players.

Extending the score in the 73rd minute, Henderson sent a cross from the right on a high-speed counter-attack, Carrick made a mistake and did not clear the ball out of the box, allowing Lallana to get the ball in the box. He then passed the ball and Firmino stabbed it into the top corner from the edge of the six-yard box, and Liverpool stubbornly made it 2-3.

However, slow motion showed that Henderson was in an offside position before receiving the ball. It's just that neither the referee, nor the linesman, nor even the Manchester United players, are aware of it. And the ball has already been judged valid, and the result cannot be changed.

With about 20 minutes to go, narrowing the gap to just one goal gave Liverpool hope of equalising or even overtaking, and for a while, the Liverpool players were excited, and Anfield was completely crazy.

It's just that Van Gaal is not incompetent, he immediately took measures, and whenever Liverpool set off a wave of offensive climax, he played the substitution card, replacing Schneiderlin with Piggy Schweinsteiger and Mata with Herrera, disrupting the rhythm of Liverpool's attack twice.

By the end of the three-minute stoppage time, when referee Velasco blew the full-time whistle, the score remained at 2:3, with the home team in front and the away team behind.

After a hard-fought game, the Reds struggled to win away at Liverpool and take the lead in the two-legged Europa League quarter-knockout tie.

An away win and a return to Old Trafford in the second leg a week later would see United qualify as long as they don't concede by more than two goals, or lose by a score of 2-3 or more. Even if it is 2-3 in 90 minutes, it will still get extra time or a penalty shootout.

The focus of the game was undoubtedly Marcus Rashford, who scored twice and assisted Anthony Martial's goal. In addition, De Gea, who made seven saves in the game, was also a big contributor to Manchester United's victory.
