This win ends United&rsquo;s nine-game winless streak at Anfield (five draws, four defeats).

The club had been unable to secure an away win on Anfield since January 2016. Under Amorim, back-to-back league wins had previously eluded them until now. After the match, Man United coach Amorim said:&nbsp;<\/p><p>&ldquo;I think that was the biggest win in my time at Manchester United. We fought for every ball&hellip; the spirit was there and that is the most important thing.&rdquo; On the flip side, Liverpool&rsquo;s slide deepened. They&rsquo;ve now lost four consecutive matches across all competitions. The champions&rsquo; defence appeared brittle and unsettled.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/graham-potter-set-to-take-over-as-sweden-head-coach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Graham Potter Set To Take Over As Sweden Head Coach<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Van Dijk admitted that the team&rsquo;s decision-making was &lsquo;too rushed&rsquo; and highlighted the openness when they lost possession, especially early in the match. Manager Arne&nbsp;Slot was left to ponder a run of three straight league defeats at home. It has been an uncomfortable reality for a squad built with high expectations.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&rsquo;s Next for Both Teams<\/h2><p>Liverpool&rsquo;s frustrated attacking efforts were clear. Gakpo struck the woodwork three times and squandered a close-range header deep into added time, effectively sealing their fate. Man United, by contrast, carved out chances of their own and showed maturity in defence and transition.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/tottenham-emerge-as-frontrunners-to-sign-dusan-vlahovic-ahead-of-chelsea-and-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Tottenham Emerge As Frontrunners To Sign Dusan Vlahovic Ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>The result sees them climb into the top half of the table and draw ever closer to Liverpool&rsquo;s position. For Liverpool, the optics are troubling. They&rsquo;ve conceded two or more goals in Premier League games regularly since May. Their defensive crisis cannot be ignored.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Man United are looking ahead to their next fixture when they welcome Brighton at home. They will relish the breakthrough but must sustain the momentum. Meanwhile, Liverpool must recover quickly as they will travel to Germany in the next few hours to take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday in the Champions League.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a thrilling Premier League encounter at Anfield, Manchester United finally secured a long-awaited win over arch-rivals Liverpool at their home.
