Liverpool faced a setback in their pursuit of securing the top spot in the Premier League as Jurgen Klopp’s side encountered frustration against Manchester United at Anfield, resulting in a lackluster 0-0 draw that places them one point behind leaders Arsenal.
In the initial half, despite registering 15 shots on goal, Liverpool struggled to carve out significant goal-scoring opportunities. Virgil van Dijk’s closest attempt, a header from a corner, was expertly tipped over by United goalkeeper Andre Onana. The home crowd, anticipating excitement in front of the Kop, found themselves disappointed as several promising attacks failed to materialize.
The second half witnessed Liverpool displaying increased determination, yet they couldn’t truly challenge Onana in the United goal. Routine saves were forced from the likes of Mohamed Salah and Ibrahima Konate, while Trent Alexander-Arnold’s attempts veered wide on multiple occasions. Despite their efforts, Liverpool failed to breach the defense of their old rivals, and the frustration heightened as Diogo Dalot received a stoppage-time red card.
