  • Alisson Becker won the hearts of fans at Anfield after pulling a great Cruyff turn against Bruno Fernandes
  • The Brazilian goalkeeper was superb for his side in the Premier League game which Liverpool won 4-0
  • Jurgen Klopp and his wards are now topping the Premier League table and will want to maintain their position

Liverpool on Tuesday night, 19 April, moved to the top of the Premier League table after beating visiting Manchester United 4-0 in what looked like an easy ride for the Anfield landlords.

Manchester United were without their star man Cristiano Ronaldo who was excused from the Premier League game due to the death of his baby boy.

However, it was Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker who stole the show at Anfield against Manchester United when the Brazilian pulled off an audacious Cruyff turn against Bruno Fernandes.

According to the report on Daily Star, Alisson had the ball at his feet in his 18-yard box with Fernandes pressing him, but remained cool, calm and collected to skill his way out of a potentially dangerous situation and leave the United attacker with egg on his face.

Who are the goal scorers for Liverpool against Man United?

Liverpool started the Premier League encounter impressively against Man United and had to wait until the 5th minute before scoring their first goal through Luis Diaz.

Mohamed Salah scored the second goal for Liverpool in the 22nd minute before Sadio Mane netted the 3rd in the 8th minutes.

Salah got his brace in the 85th minute as Liverpool recorded comfortable 4-0 win.

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Liverpool stormed to the top of the Premier League thanks to a comprehensive performance against a desperate Manchester United on Tuesday, April 19.

Mohammed Salah scored twice as the Reds thrashed their opponents 4-0 at Anfield in a game where United were lucky not to have conceded any more.

Despite the derby nature of the fixture, there was an embarrassing gulf in quality in the two teams as Liverpool showed their title credentials from early on, finding the back of the net as early as the fifth minute through their new man Luis Diaz.

Notably, United were without Cristiano Ronaldo, who was inevitably given compassionate leave following the death of his newborn son.
