Falling behind by two goals in the opening seven minutes at home and against rivals Manchester United was tantamount to pushing Liverpool into a corner.

Now, there is only one way left for Liverpool to go to Huashan, that is, you can't coax it, you can only do it!

So, when kick-off resumed, inspired by the home fans' singing of "You'll Never Go Alone", Liverpool launched a decisive attack on Manchester United.

However, in order to prevent being counter-attacked by Manchester United, their two centre-backs did not dare to press the halfway line again.

At this moment, Rashford felt the atmosphere of the devil's home stadium. He had never felt the same kind of unity, even at Old Trafford.

Today's Liverpool, although its strength cannot be compared with the giants, but when they show the courage to fight, they can stop their team, there is really no team.

Although Van Gaal's team is good at ball control, but today's Manchester United, the midfield control ability is really not excellent, especially today's midfield three Mata, Schneiderlin and Fellaini, two of them are rough brothers, Mata's skills are passable, but his confrontation ability is poor, so the Manchester United midfielder can't withstand Liverpool's pressing at all.

For a while, Manchester United was basically in the feeling of being beaten in the big penalty area by Liverpool.

This time, Rashford did not return to the penalty area to participate in defence. Because of the counterattack just now, he has attracted the attention of Liverpool, so he stayed in front and played a more obvious role.

After all, his 31 defensive ability is really poor. If you stay in the front, you can still contain Liverpool's two central defenders, and even the two central midfielders Henderson and Emre Can will have to keep an eye on Rashford at all times, ready to contain Rashford's counterattack with the two central defenders.

………………

Liverpool's high-pressure pressing paid off at the 19-minute mark. Roberto Firmino sent a through ball through the United defence. Klein went down in a scramble with Depay, and referee Velasco awarded a penalty and gave Depay a yellow card.

The Manchester United players were very unhappy with the decision.

Slow motion shows that the United players were justified in their displeasure, as the place where Klein fell was on the line of the penalty area, so the penalty was awarded rather narrowly.

What's more, Depay just fought with Klein normally, and did not have any additional actions, and Klein was suspected of fake falling and cheating.

However, Velasco did not change the sentence.

Then, Sturridge's penalty was saved by De Gea, but it went in.

1:2, Liverpool pulled one back in the 20th minute of the game.

Liverpool's morale was boosted by the goal back, while the Liverpool fans at Anfield were even more frenzied. For a while, the singing of "You Will Never Walk Alone" resounded throughout the audience, making the Liverpool players feel like they have been beaten with chicken blood, and their combat effectiveness is off the charts.

In the following time, Manchester United's defense was in turmoil and frequent emergencies. As for the offense, it is already completely impossible to talk about.

In the 22nd minute, Manchester United's goal was almost broken again. Sturridge was defended by a Manchester United player and delivered a penetrating diagonal pass. Coutinho at the back post struck out of the crowd and received a pass from the edge of the post.

However, his shot was saved by a brave David De Gea and United escaped.

………………

The game passed in such a tense atmosphere, and the clock quickly came to the 30th minute. Real-time statistics show that Liverpool's possession rate has been as high as 73%, which shows Manchester United's embarrassment in this half hour.

However, it didn't end there, and in the 31st minute, the Reds back line made another fatal mistake.

Firmino sent a pass, Smalling was on the line of the small penalty area, he could have cleared the siege with his feet, but he didn't know if it was a brain twitch, and he used a fish leap to the top to clear the siege.

Break the siege with a fish leap, if it succeeds, it will be fine, but the outrageous thing is that he actually rose to the top!

Liverpool striker Sturridge latched on to Smalling's ball at the back post and slotted it over the six-yard line. However, De Gea was in excellent form today and blocked Sturridge's shot directly.

If it weren't for De Gea's excellent performance, Manchester United would have fallen behind 2-3.

………………

After more than ten minutes of onslaught, the Liverpool players were also a little tired enough to slow down the attack.

And Manchester United, who breathed a sigh of relief, took the opportunity to counterattack.

De Gea's goalball finds Fellaini in front of the goal. Fellaini took the ball and passed it to Juan Mata next to him. Juan Mata delivers a pinpoint pass through the Liverpool defence. Depay got past Liverpool's defenders and got the ball near the baseline, but he couldn't get his feet up and crossed, so he had to pass back.

After a few passes, the ball was back at Depay's feet again. Manchester United's front-line players, including Anthony Martial, Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford, have moved into the box and Depay will be a threat if he delivers a cross at this time.

However, this time Depay chose to dribble the ball into the box and after being blocked, he sent a rambling pass that no United player reacted to.

For Depay's "wonderful" performance, Anfield fans booed.

Rashford also shook his head, not knowing what this lone wolf thought, it was really inexplicable.

………………

In the 34th minute, Liverpool centre-back Lovren fouled Marouane Fellaini and United won a free-kick around three metres outside the top left corner of the penalty area.

Juan Mata and Depay were in front of the ball, while the others entered the box and prepared to take the spot.

After discussion, the free-kick was taken by Depay.

Depay opted for a free-kick and hit straight at goal. However, his free-kick was too far off the line and headed straight for the right-hand corner flag.

Liverpool fans booed Depay again.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal was also unhappy with Depay's performance, and he shook his head repeatedly while sitting in the dugout.

In the current disadvantage of Manchester United, set-pieces are a good opportunity to score, and Depay is so wasteful, it is simply to help Liverpool clear the ball.

………………

The game quickly drew to the end of the first half, and after a few minutes of rest, Liverpool came back to the back of the net to put on a strong attack on Manchester United's goal and set up a good chance to score.

In the 41st minute, Firmino crossed from the right side of the penalty area, and Lallana's volley from the edge of the small box was saved by De Gea again.

Subsequently, the two sides went through several attacks and defenses, but there were no good chances to score, and the first half was over.

Although Manchester United went into the break with a 2-1 advantage, everyone knew that if it weren't for De Gea's three world-class saves, the score would have been 2:4.

Of course, the team was able to take the lead thanks to another man, Marcus Rashford, who seized two chances and scored two goals to give United the lead.
