Salah nets hat-trick as Pogba sees red on dark day for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men


MANCHESTER UNITED were thrashed on home soil by a rampant Liverpool to pile the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Naby Keita, Diogo Jota and Mo Salah all netted in a horror first half for the hosts, with Sir Alex Ferguson watching on grimly from the stands.

It was the first time in 70 YEARS that Man Utd trailed 4-0 at half-time in a league game.

Salah wrapped up his hat-trick just after the break, before Cristiano Ronaldo’s consolation was ruled out by VAR for offside.

And to make matters even worse, Paul Pogba saw a straight red after a wild challenge.

  • Final score: Man Utd 0-5 Liverpool.
  • Goalscorers: Keita 5′, Jota 14′, Salah 38′, 45′, 50′.


  • REFRESHED LEAGUE STANDINGS

    So this what that result means in the Premier League.

    Liverpool have injected their goal difference to +21 which is the highest in the division but they are still a point off league leaders Chelsea.

    As for Manchester United, they stay in seventh but the Red Devils are massively losing ground on the top spots.

  • THREE IS A CROWD

    The moment where Salah became the first player to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford in the Premier League since 2011.

  • SUBLIME SALAH

    Yet again, Mo Salah steals the headlines as he became the first player since Cristiano Ronaldo to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford and the the first Liverpool member since Dirk Kuyt in 2011.

    His goal scoring record speaks volume because the Egyptian has now made it 10 consecutive matches where he has bagged at least one goal which has put Salah as the highest scoring African in the Premier League history stealing the crown off Didier Drogba.

    Despite all of that, the 29-year-old was able to still remain humble when talking about his team’s result let alone his own form.

    I think it is great to win 5-0 away. We knew before the game it was going to be tough if we didn’t play our game and if we didn’t play our football.

    We had in our head that we had to give 100% and we had to dominate the game and I think we did it.

    To be fair as much as the team keeps winning, I am more than happy so I am always trying to give assists.

    First one I could have gone alone but I chose to give it to Naby so I think I am trying to always give my best for the team to win which is the most important thing.
