Manchester United stunned Liverpool at Anfield with a dramatic 2-1 win, sealed by an 84th-minute header from centre-back Harry Maguire in a heated Premier League clash on Sunday.

What We Know:

• United opened scoring early with a strike from Bruno Fernandes in the 18th minute.
• Liverpool equalised in the second half through Mohamed Salah’s penalty after a foul by Varane.
• Maguire, often criticised in recent seasons, silenced doubters with a towering header from a Luke Shaw corner late in the game.

Quote:

“This is the spirit we’ve been fighting for. I’m proud of the boys,” — Erik ten Hag, Manchester United Manager.

Why It Matters:

• The win propels United into the top four, renewing hopes for a strong season finish.
• Maguire’s performance is likely to ease pressure on the defender, who has faced criticism from fans and pundits alike.
• For Liverpool, the loss extends their winless streak and raises questions about defensive lapses.
