Liverpool did not stop their perfect start under Arne Slot with 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford. Luis Diaz scored two goals and Mohamed Salah grabbed the third goal to give Liverpool a dominate win over their bitter regional rivals.

It was a trait under Jurgen Klopp and it will be trait under Slot. Whatever he opposition, wherever the game is played, Liverpool will try to press high and win the ball as close to their opponents’ goal as they can. Slot said: “We always want to press high. That’s what Jurgen Klopp did, and that’s what we try to continue. And we scored a few goals from a high press including one disallowed.”

Indeed, all 3 Liverpool goals and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s ruled out effort came from turnovers, with Liverpool winning possession in the final third 7 times compared to Man Utd’s three. Across the first 3 rounds of Premier League action, Liverpool have made more pressures in the final third than any other side.

Liverpool did not let the disappointment affect them. They teemed with intensity, squeezing high, nipping in front to win possessions. they took a grip on midfield, where United were extremely open. Sadly for United’s holding midfielder, the match turned into an ordeal for them.

At the end of the match the visitors celebrated a convincing victory over their arch rivals at Old Trafford and thanked to a double from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah’s strike. Afterwards, Slot explained to Sky Sports that how they did it.

Liverpool have now won three out of three under new manager Slot and have yet to concede a goal in the process as they move to second in the league, and are only behind Manchester City on goals scored.

Man United’s boss Erik Ten Hag was already under fire after a stuttering start that included an unconvincing opening day win over Fulham and a 2-1 defeat at Brighton, and he will come under deeper pressure as his side sink to 14th place.
