Liverpool fans still brutally mocking Man Utd during match with Brighton

mirror.co.uk, 30 October 2021, 14:51

Liverpool supporters continued to revel in their astonishing victory over bitter rivals Manchester United during their next Premier League fixture at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Reds put five past Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side last Sunday in a fixture which will be remembered for decades to come.

Naby Keita and Diogo Jota netted early goals before Mohamed Salah scored a sublime hat-trick to send the away end at Old Trafford into delirium.

Liverpool fans stayed long after the final whistle blew as manager Jurgen Klopp performed his trademark fist pumps, while there was a party atmosphere in the visitors' dressing room.

The Anfield faithful are showing no signs of letting their United counterparts forget about the defeat any time soon, either.

Will Liverpool win the Premier League this season? Have your say in the comments.

Liverpool fans were in full voice at Anfield celebrating their victory over Manchester United

During the early stages of Saturday afternoon's clash with Brighton, mocking chants of 'Ole's at the wheel' could be heard ringing around the Merseyside ground.

Liverpool had more cause for delight just four minutes into the fixture as captain Jordan Henderson finished from Mohamed Salah's pass to put the Reds in front.

Sadio Mane doubled the advantage with a back-post header on 24 minutes after an excellent cross from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Mane thought he had his second of the match later in the first half but his opportunistic strike was ruled out by VAR for his handball infringement, before Brighton pulled one back through Enock Mwepu.

However, the news was not all good for the hosts, as Oxlade-Chamberlain was only on the pitch due to an injury sustained by Naby Keita.

The Guinea midfielder was substituted on 20 minutes having started the match six days after he was stretchered off following Paul Pogba's horror tackle.

Pogba was initially shown a yellow card for his studs-up lunge on Keita but the referee upgraded it to a straight red after consulting the pitchside monitor.

Meanwhile, Liverpool's brilliant start against Brighton will have delighted Klopp, who urged his side to improve despite their emphatic victory over United.

"The world is like this - you win 5-0 against United and everything is perfect. Well, it was not," said Klopp in his pre-Brighton press conference.

"United had clear-cut chances, which we gave them. We should not rely on luck or Ali (Alisson). We could have done better. This is how we spoke at half-time, even though we were 4-0 up.

"It is really important you believe you have to play better, otherwise you open up the gate for them. I saw the first half, we gave too much away. We have to improve, in general."
