And Manchester United joined Liverpool at the top of the “Premier League” but fell behind on goal difference.
Liverpool and Manchester have 33 points and have played the same number of games, knowing that Liverpool will visit Southampton on Monday at this stage, while United has a postponed match against Burnley, who will play the current 12.
It is the first time that Manchester United has shared the not-early lead in the domestic league since the retirement of famed coach Sir Alex Ferguson at the end of the 2012-2013 season when the team were crowned English champions for the 20th and final time.
History backed Manchester before the start of the match because they vastly outperformed their rival, having only lost 3 times in 1992, 1995 and 2009 in 43 matches that brought them together since the adoption of the Premier League system in the 1992 season 1993.
Manchester pressed from the start of the game and almost opened the scoring with a curly shot from Frenchman Anthony Martial, but Argentine goalkeeper Villa Emiliano Martínez saved him brilliantly (11).
Villa responded, the surprise of the season, with a powerful shot by the active Scottish midfielder John McGinn, who managed to stop the Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea (13).
After several attempts, the Red Devils managed to open the scoring when Marcial took advantage of a cross from Aaron Wan Bissaka from the right wing to deposit the net with his head (40).
Villa managed to equalize after a cunning cross pass from Jack Grealish, and Bertrand Traore followed him to his left from close behind into De Gea’s net (58).
However, the guests did not enjoy the goal much because the referee awarded United a penalty after Brazilian Douglas Luich blocked Frenchman Paul Pogba in the region, for which he gave it to Portuguese specialist Bruno Fernández, awarding him all three points. to his team (61).
Fernández raised his league goal tally to 11, placing him in second place with three other players, while Liverpool’s Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah ranks first with 13 goals.
De Gea intervened again to save his goal from a sure goal when he took a header from Oli Watkins (70).
The two teams had a few chances in the last 20 minutes, but they didn’t make good use of them.
