Amad Diallo’s dramatic late strike secured Manchester United a well-earned 2-2 draw against Premier League leaders Liverpool in a pulsating clash at Anfield, defying the Red Devils’ recent struggles and injecting hope into their campaign.
United initially fell behind to a Mohamed Salah penalty in the second half, which seemed to cement Arne Slot’s side’s march toward an eight-point lead at the top of the table. But Lisandro Martinez had other plans, blasting United into a brief lead with a thunderous strike. Cody Gakpo then equalized with a composed finish, leaving the game finely poised.
As the clock ticked down, Amad came to the rescue, sweeping the ball into the net to ignite the away end and salvage a crucial point for Ruben Amorim’s side. The result lifts United to 13th place, edging them above West Ham, and provides a glimmer of optimism amidst an otherwise inconsistent season.
There was still a chance for a shock victory in the dying seconds, but Harry Maguire spurned the opportunity, sending his effort high over the bar, leaving United to settle for a spirited draw against the league leaders.
