Manchester United stunned Liverpool with a late 84th-minute goal by Harry Maguire to secure a dramatic 2-1 victory at Anfield on October 19, 2025. Liverpool had taken the game to United after an early strike from Bryan Mbeumo within the first minute, leveling through Cody Gakpo in the 78th minute. However, Maguire’s towering header from a Bruno Fernandes cross proved decisive, giving United their first win at Anfield in nine years and ending a challenging run of matches for the club.
The result deepened Liverpool’s struggles, marking their fourth consecutive Premier League defeat and first home league loss in over 400 days. Despite dominating possession and creating several opportunities, including shots that hit the woodwork, Liverpool could not convert their chances. United, led by Maguire’s leadership and a solid performance from goalkeeper Alexander Isak, showcased defensive resilience and tactical discipline under manager Ruben Amorim, climbing to ninth in the table, just behind their rivals.
