The greatest battle in English football! Liverpool's biggest wins against Manchester United
After picking up their first trophy of the year, Manchester United was quickly humbled by their biggest rivals Liverpool, losing 7-0 to The Reds in a Premier League thriller.
The result is Liverpool's biggest win over United, and it's raised the question as to whether the Liverpool of just last year is back at their best.
The game between the two North-West giants has produced some of the most season-defining games over the years.
Let's look through some of Liverpool's biggest wins over their arch-enemy!
Nearly 100,000 fans crammed into Wembley stadium to watch Liverpool take on Manchester United in the 1983 League Cup Final in Bob Paisley's last season in charge of Liverpool.
After Norman Whiteside's early goal for United, Liverpool staged a late comeback with Alan Kennedy scoring to take the match to extra time, and then Ronnie Whelan curled an excellent strike home, sealing Liverpool's third consecutive League Cup.
In 2000, Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United team had been one of the best, if not the best team in the world for several years by the time Liverpool faced them in the same year.
Danny Murphy's curling free kick was enough on the day to end Liverpool's ten-game losing streak in North-West derbies. However, it didn't stop United from winning their seventh Premier League title.
In a team that boasted Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez, and Nemanja Vidic, Liverpool made easy work of dismantling United in 2009, winning 4-1 at Old Trafford.
Ronaldo scored the first goal of the game, but finishes from Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard got the ball rolling for the reds, with Andrea Dossena and Fabio Aurelio adding the finishing touches in a magical display.
It would take over ten years for Liverpool to emulate a similar performance to the one they showed in 2009, but in 2021 they got it and then some.
Liverpool beat Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United team 5-0 away at Old Trafford in a game where Mohammed Salah became the first opposition player to score a Premier League hattrick at Old Trafford. The game was won by halftime, winning 4-0 at the interval.
Maybe not the most humiliating performance inflicted by Liverpool. However, their 2-0 win over Manchester United in 2020 was a strong performance that almost guaranteed their first-ever Premier League title.
Goals from Virgil Van Dijk and Mo Salah gave Liverpool a 16-point lead at the top of the Premier League table at the time, and it continued their impressive streak of 21 wins from 22 games.
Their most impressive victory over the 'Red Devils' was last weekend's 7-0 mauling. The win was Liverpool's biggest-ever win over United in the teams' head-to-head history.
Goals from front three Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Mo Salah, including a goal from hero Roberto Firmino secured a historic victory for Liverpool over their enemy.
