AMORIM PILES IT ON POOL

THE last place Ruben Amorim probably expected to banish his most unwanted record was Anfield.

But, sure enough, it says everything about the current state of Liverpool's form that Amorim finally won back-to-back English Premier League games 11 months into his reign as Manchester United manager.

Incredibly, Liverpool have now lost four games in a row for the first time since November 2014 and the alarm bells are ringing loud and clear for manager Arne Slot.

Liverpool, the reigning champions, are just not right. They are just not clicking and, despite such a promising start, their raft of new signings do not look like a team.

Slot’s defence looked wide open and Harry Maguire was given so much space to head home the dramatic 84th-minute winner.

Maguire had been an absolute rock at the heart of United's defence all afternoon and no-one deserved it more than him. Maguire ran over to the away end, spread his arms open wide and just breathed in the moment.
