Drama in the northwest derby: Liverpool and Manchester United separate 2-2!

On January 5, 2025, an exciting northwest derby between Liverpool and Manchester United took place in the English Premier League. The game ended 2-2 after a turbulent second half. Liverpool managed to catch up and take the lead 2-1 in the meantime. Lisandro Martínez brought Manchester United in the 52nd minute before Cody Gakpo met for Liverpool in the 59th minute and Mohamed Salah in the 70th minute. In the 80th minute Amad Diallo equalized for Manchester United.

The draw leads Liverpool leaders with a lead of six points to Arsenal, while the draw for Manchester United can be seen as a success after four competitive defeats in series. Before the kick -off, there were considerations to cancel the game due to snow in the Liverpool area. However, a cancellation was rejected according to safety -related meetings, and helpers ensured that the lawn was freed from the snow before the game started.

Thomas Tuchel visiting

The new coach of the English national team, Thomas Tuchel, observed the game from the stands. Tuchel, who took up his office on January 1, 2025, saw his third Premier League game this weekend in this game. Previously, he followed the games between Tottenham and Newcastle as well as Brighton and Arsenal. In the duel between Liverpool and Manchester United, there were only four English players in the starting eleven: Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones for Liverpool as well as Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo for Manchester United. Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah were sitting on the bench at Liverpool, while Toby Collyer lingered on the Manchester United bench.

Tuchel will lead the World Cup qualification game against Albania, followed by another home game against Latvia three days later. Andorra and Serbia are also located in the qualification group. In other games this weekend, Dominic Solanke scored the first goal for Tottenham against Newcastle, while Anthony Gordon equalized for Newcastle. In addition, Ethan Nwaneri, who plays for England U19, scored a goal for Arsenal against Brighton, but was replaced at half -time due to an injury.
