- FT THOUGHTS (Liverpool 7-0 Manchester United): In what was the most emphatic moment in Liverpool's rocky campaign so far this season, Jurgen Klopp's men reminded the world why they are one of the giants in the Premier League. #LIVMUN
- Liverpool needed this win to help boost the team's confidence in their bid to secure Champions League qualification. #LIVMUN
- Erik ten Hag might have gotten this match wrong tactically, and failing to shake things up quick enough in the second half meant his team had to learn a bitter lesson on Sunday evening. #LIVMUN
- Mohamed Salah once again stakes his claim as one of the greatest players to have ever worn the Liverpool shirt, having surpassed club legend Robbie Fowler to become the club's all-time leading goalscorer in the Premier League (129). #LIVMUN
- Fair to say Manchester United deserved nothing from this fixture with the Reds showing no real promise for the entire 90 minutes having dramatically collapsed in the second half. Erik ten Hag will surely be asking himself and his team serious questions back home. #LIVMUN
- The win for Liverpool now puts them seven points behind third-placed United and three points behind Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League standings, with the top-four race continuing to heat up. #LIVMUN
Mohamed Salah becomes Liverpool’s all-time record Premier League scorer with his brace — it’s 129 goals 🔴🇪🇬 #LFC

“It’s very special! I'm going to go home, celebrate with my family and have a chamomile tea”, Mo Salah says.

Two great opportunities for United.@B_Fernandes8 nods just wide from @DalotDiogo's cross, before @MarcusRashford strikes at Alisson from close range. #MUFC || #LIVMUN pic.twitter.com/AvfHu2dG6p
— Manchester United (@ManUtd) March 5, 2023
- 27' 0-0: Marcus Rashford should have done better with that strike. Takes it first and side foot's it, but it's straight at Alisson. He had the luxury of time but just needed a little patience. #LIVMUN
- 26' CHANCE! Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes just sees his effort go narrowly wide in what could have been the opener. #LIVMUN
- 25' 0-0: Mo Salah thinks he's fouled by Lisandro Martinez after he saw his run stopped. #LIVMUN
- 20' 0-0: Liverpool applying pressure here, but United are equal to the task by clearing their lines. #LIVMUN
🇧🇷 The first opening of the game fell to @Antony00, who cut in from the right and forced Alisson into a low save. #MUFC || #LIVMUN pic.twitter.com/icuv9gVlQ7

- Seconds ago, we saw DarwIn Nunez drag an effort wide. The score is still 0-0 between Liverpool and Manchester United. #LIVMUN
- Today could also be a very special day for Mohamed Salah. if he scores against Manchester United, he will equal the legendary Robbie Fowler as the top scorer in Liverpool's history in the Premier League era (128). And boy does he love scoring against United.....#LIVMUN
- 15' 0-0: It's been a tight contest after the first 15 minutes. Who will open the scoring here? #LIVMUN
14' - Fabinho nips in front of Weghorst to win possession high in the visitors half. He picks out Salah but his curling strike is off target.
