Biggest Liverpool victories over Manchester United in the Premier League

Liverpool registered their biggest win ever against Manchester United with an emphatic 7-0 success at Anfield on Sunday.

The visitors were the better side in the first half and Cody Gakpo’s goal two minutes before the break came against the run of play.

However, the second half was completely one-sided as the Reds destroyed their opponents with a breathtaking attacking display. 

Gakpo scored his second after Darwin Nunez’s header diverted Harvey Elliott’s cross past the goalkeeper in the 47th minute.

The Uruguayan then bagged a double while Mohamed Salah also got his name on the scoresheet twice. 

Roberto Firmino left the bench to make it 7-0 as Jurgen Klopp’s side recorded a historic win against United. 

Below we look at some of Liverpool’s biggest victories against their bitter Manchester rivals in the Premier League.
