Liverpool score four to dent Man Utd’s top-four hopes

Mohamed Salah scored twice as Liverpool beat Manchester United 4-0, ending the day top of the table for the first time since 1 October and denting their visitors’ top-four hopes.

Luis Diaz swept home the opener in the fifth minute from a low cross by Salah, who doubled the lead midway through the first half, finishing off a superb team move.

Man Utd improved after the break and Alisson was forced to make a double save.
It proved to be a key moment because Liverpool stepped up their game again and Mane hit the third in the 68th minute with a clinical finish from Diaz’s cross.

Diaz was replaced by Diogo Jota and the substitute set up the fourth goal for Salah, who struck against United for the fifth time this season.

Liverpool are now two points ahead of Manchester City, who have a match in hand, while United drop to sixth on goal difference behind Arsenal.

  By now it is no news to any Nigerian sports fan, that Augustin Eguavoen and his entire team have been relieved of their duties at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian National team. Most Nigerians are happy with this development, with some claiming that his immediate predecessor, Gernot Rohr would have delivered better results. However, a simple analysis of events will clearly demonstrate that Eguavoen did a fine enough job given the circumstances. I will attempt to undertake this analysis by demonstrating, first that Eguavoen has a better record than one might realize, and secondly by comparing the performance of his Super Eagles with that of Afcon winners, Senegal, and runners-up Egypt. When Gernot Rohr was sacked a few weeks to the Afcon, knowledgeable sportspersons decried the move, citing the difficulty any new coach would face in setting up the team to play to his own patterns.
