Liverpool’s record-breaking win over Manchester United has unsurprisingly left contrasting emotions on each side.
The Reds claimed an incredible 7-0 victory over their bitter rivals at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday. It was a victory that moved Jurgen Klopp's side up to fifth place in the table and three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with a game in hand.
Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah each scored two goals in the historic triumph with Roberto Firmino also on the scoresheet. It was Liverpool’s biggest win over United in their history.

Little wonder, then, Ian Doyle was generous in his Reds player ratings for the ECHO, with two men getting the perfect 10. But it was a different story for the United players.
The Express, Manchester Evening News (MEN) and Goal did not shy away from their criticism of the Reds Devils. In fact, the MEN handed out scores of 1 to every United player, as well as to manager Erik ten Hag.
For Lisandro Martinez, the MEN wrote: “Reasonably solid in the first half but easily deceived by Mohamed Salah for the contest-killing third goal.” While for Raphael Varane, the verdict read: “Inexplicably allowed Gakpo to come inside and have a free shot to start the goal glut. His worst performance of the season.”
Their verdict for Casemiro read: “Uncharacteristically careless with the ball and this proved to be a game too far for one of United's players of the season. Liverpool overwhelmed him.” While, for Bruno Fernandes, the MEN wrote: “Started the game playing out of position and on this occasion he could not affect the play whatsoever. Became more truculent as the score line got worse.”
The Express were almost as harsh with their gradings of the Red Devils players. Their ratings included marks of two for Scott McTominay and three for the likes of Fernandes, Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot and Wout Weghorst.
While in Goal, their ratings included some slightly more generous marks. Weghorst was the only player to get a score of three, while the rest either received a mark of four or five.
