Manchester United has finally won the new season of the English Premier League. The team opened its account in the points table after beating last season's runners-up Liverpool 2–1. United was defeated 2–1 by Brighton in their first match of the season, while in the second match they suffered a crushing 4–0 defeat at the hands of Brentford. In such a situation, by defeating a big team like Liverpool at their own ground in their third match of the season, United has shown signs of moving towards a strong season.
From the very beginning of the match, United started
putting shots through the attack. United's Elanga had a good chance in the 10th
minute but the ball hit outside Liverpool's goal post. United's young player
Jaden Sancho scored the first goal of the match in the 16th minute. Sancho
brilliantly tackled the pass from Elgana and put the ball into Liverpool's goal
post. After this, no further goal was scored in the first half.
