Manchester United took a 2-0 lead at Old Trafford today, with Liverpool’s defence letting us down for the first time in a while.
For the first goal, Dejan Lovren was beaten in the air and Trent Alexander-Arnold got caught the wrong side of Marcus Rashford, who scored past Loris Karius.

Not long after, Romelu Lukaku bullied Lovren and Trent turned his back on another Rashford shot, which was very disappointing to see.
The first-half was very even, but the mistakes we made were capitalised upon by our rivals.
Fans on Twitter were very clear on who was to blame and we imagine Jurgen Klopp will feel the same.
Lukaku has bullied Lovren for both goals, whilst Trent has been found wanting. Poor defending all round from Liverpool.

Lukaku beats Lovren in the air, Rashford skins Trent. Two individual battles lost conceded us that goal. Come on Reds. Let's respond.

Trent has had a nightmare in the opening 30 minutes as Rashford is causing him a lot of problems. Lovren also being bullied by Lukaku. Game is all United. #MUNLIV #LFC #YNWA
