Anfield witnessed a rare scene of disbelief as Liverpool fell 2–1 to Manchester United, marking their fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions. The loss deepened the club’s growing crisis and left fans questioning where the spark has gone.
The game began in the worst possible fashion for Liverpool. Within the opening minute, Manchester United capitalised on a defensive lapse to take the lead, silencing the home crowd. Though the Reds dominated much of the possession and pushed forward with intent, their finishing once again failed them. Cody Gakpo eventually found the equaliser in the second half, but just when Liverpool looked set to take control, a late header from United restored the visitors’ advantage.
By the final whistle, frustration filled Anfield. Liverpool have now lost four straight matches — a run not seen in years — and the pressure is visibly weighing on both players and coaching staff. Their inability to convert chances, coupled with shaky defending, continues to cost them crucial points.
Manager Arne Slot now faces the biggest challenge of his tenure. Supporters, once hopeful after a strong start to the season, are growing restless as the team’s form collapses. With tough fixtures ahead, Liverpool must rediscover their rhythm quickly to avoid slipping further behind in the Premier League race.
The defeat also raises deeper concerns about confidence and leadership within the squad. For a club built on resilience and passion, four straight losses serve as a stark reminder that reputation alone doesn’t win matches. The next game at Anfield may determine whether this slump becomes a full-blown crisis.
