Maguire header is a tonic for Amorim

But Slot facing tough decisions after fourth straight loss

- By CARL MARKHAM

HARRY MAGUIRE'S late header secured Manchester United's first win at Anfield in almost a decade and gave head coach Ruben Amorim back-to-back league victories for the first time in his tenure.

The visitors looked to have been denied by Cody Gakpo's 78th-minute equaliser, but centre-back Maguire became the latest player to expose Liverpool's weakness at set-pieces with a powerful header.

United had ridden their luck after Bryan Mbeumo scored the quickest Premier League goal - after 62 seconds-on this ground between the two sides, with Gakpo hitting the frame of the goal three times, but his most glaring miss came with three minutes to go when he planted a close-range header wide of an open goal.

While United, now only two points behind their arch rivals, and Amorim will feel they have turned a corner with possibly the standout result of his reign so far, Arne Slot is left to consider what has gone wrong with his misfiring side.
