It was a memorable Sunday for Manchester United as they ended their nine-year run without wins at Anfield with a 2-1 victory against Liverpool.
Not only that, but the Red Devils recorded back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time under Ruben Amorim, not the worst place to end their hoodoo.
Bryan Mbeumo got the ball rolling in the opening minute, while Harry Maguire rose highest in the 84th minute to seal all three points for the visitors.
The team’s mentality, especially when Liverpool equalized, will have pleased the head coach. He will also be happy with the bond that Mbeumo is building with Amad.
Amad and Mbeumo cause a storm
The Ivorian has not been at his best this season, but he saved his best performance for the blockbuster match against Arne Slot’s side.
He linked up perfectly with the Cameroonian and received an assist within the first minute with an impeccably timed through ball.
He could have grabbed another assist and in his 59 minutes on the pitch, the Ivorian created two big chances.
Most impressive was the way the duo overlapped and overlapped, and it almost seemed as if they had developed a telepathic connection.
Amad roars back to life at Anfield
Amad and Mbeumo gave Milos Kerkez a very difficult time. The Ivory Coast international finished his shift with a passing accuracy of 96 percent, misplacing just one pass.
Three of those passes were in the final third, while he completed one dribble and found a teammate with one long rake (all stats via photomob).
The 23-year-old also worked hard defensively, making a total of five defensive contributions, with one header and four interceptions.
Amorim will now demand more from the full-back, and hopefully Amad and United can go from here and show the much-needed consistency to climb back up the table.
