In a season in which Manchester United definitely showed that it is going in the right direction after years of wandering, there will be an indelible stain in the duel with the biggest rival - Liverpool.
If the "red devils" have only been moving forward in recent months, seven days ago they also won the trophy in the League Cup, today at "Anfield" they took a huge step back - Liverpool outplayed them, and in the end they humiliated them as a result. It was even 7:0.
For about forty minutes, the big derby between English and European football was equal, and then the Reds needed only seven and a half minutes to outclass Erik ten Haag's team.
"Breaking" he announced Kodi Gakpo with a great goal in the 43rd minute, in the 47th Darvin Nunes also scored, already in his 50s, another newcomer from PSV who in January chose Liverpool just ahead of United.
From that moment, United's defense and midfield did not exist, Liverpool, led by Mohamed Salah, toyed with the rival and continued to create chances.
Salah assisted on the third goal (previously he drove Lisandro Martinez crazy with his dribbles), and then it was his turn to score.
He did it, atypically for him, with his right foot when he checked David de Gea with the crossbar.
Even then, it was only a question of how many goals De Gea would receive, it turned out that he took the ball out of the net twice more - they guessed Salah i Roberto Firmino.
Salah, who scored 12 times in derbies with United, became Liverpool's all-time top scorer in the Premier League with 129 goals.
This is the most convincing victory in the history of England's biggest rivalry - the previous record is 127 years and four months old, as Liverpool beat United's forerunners, Newton Heath, 7-1 in October 1895.
United equaled the heaviest defeat in history.
