Legendary commentator, Peter Drury, who many across the African continent no longer get to hear over the airwaves commentating on the world's most popular league, had a chat with renowned broadcaster, Robert Marawa on 947, giving his astonished take.

Drury commented:
"It’s a bit of a freak result. That is not to diminish what Liverpool did. For 40 minutes, it was a pretty even game. The thing that would alarm United fans was the lack of shape and discipline when they conceded a couple of goals and things weren’t going their way. They are only humans and they had a bad day individually and collectively."
The commentator also mentioned how Liverpool's Championship League prospects were alive once again.
"Some are saying it’s a glimpse into the Liverpool future. With Sadio Mane gone and Roberto Firmino leaving, there is an evolution happening and maybe this is the start of the next era for them."
Fernandes explains substitution accusations
Sports Brief also reported on Man United skipper, Bruno Fernandes deying asking for substitution during his side's demolition at Anfield.
One of the most bizarre things from the match happened deep in the second half when he appeared to ask to be hooked off the game.

Immediately after the final whistle, Casemiro appeared to confront Fernandes, likely about a missed opportunity in the match.
