Liverpool on Thursday night boosted their chances of finishing in top four in the Premier League with a 4-2 defeat of Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Roberto Firmino scored twice for Liverpool after Manchester United had opened scoring through Bruno Fernandes in the first 45 minutes.
Diogo Jota flicked in Liverpool’s equalizer in the first half.
Firmino scored twice either side of half-time, heading home a second before tapping in a third for his side.
Marcus Rashford swept in to make it 3-2 while Mohamed Salah got a late fourth.
Victory means Liverpool are up to fifth and four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea with a game in hand, which is an away trip to already-relegated West Brom.
Recall that Manchester United also lost 1-2 to Leicester on Tuesday; though the Ole’s boys still remain second in the Premier League table.
