🚨 What’s going on here? United stun Liverpool after just 61 seconds

The negative run of Liverpool FC could continue today. After suffering three consecutive defeats in competitive matches, the Reds are already trailing Manchester United just seconds into the match.

Bryan Mbeumo put the Red Devils ahead after just 61 seconds. Immediately afterwards, there were loud protests from the Liverpool players. Alexis Mac Allister was lying dazed on the pitch, holding his head.

The hosts believed they had seen a foul on their playmaker. Virgil van Dijk and coach Arne Slot gestured emphatically, indicating that the play leading up to the goal should have been stopped earlier due to a head injury.

Adding insult to injury: Mac Allister took the blow to the head from his own teammate. Virgil van Dijk caught him with his elbow during an aerial duel with the goal scorer.
