Liverpool have thrashed Manchester United 4-2 at Old Trafford to brighten their chances of a top four finish in English Premier League.

This is the second time United are losing two consecutive games at home in two three days.

United had lost 1-2 at home to Leicester City on Tuesday, a loss that handed Manchester City the premier league title.

United opened scoring on 10 minutes through Bruno Fernandes.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka played the ball to Fernandes, whose deflected shot from inside the box went past the helpless Alisson.

Liverpool equalised on 34 minutes through Diogo Jota.

Nathaniel Phillips was the provider as he slipped the ball to Diogo Jota who simply steered it home from close range.
