Among the season's best games! Man Utd holds Liverpool in a thrilling match.

Amad Diallo's heroics in the closing moments helped Manchester United grab a point against Liverpool, and Ruben Amorim led his team to an astonishing 2-2 draw.

Given the 23-point difference between the teams, few would have predicted that they would end the game without scoring. In the first forty-five minutes, despite the torrential rain, United showed they were competing and didn't just have to endure a Liverpool storm.

More gloomy clouds quickly collected over Anfield thanks to Lisandro Martinez. After fifty-two minutes, the defender found himself in the box and swiftly smashed the ball past Alisson Becker to open the score.

Alexis Mac Allister slotted the ball to Cody Gakpo, giving Liverpool a response. Five minutes later, the Dutch international scored an equaliser after cutting onto his right foot.

Matthijs de Ligt's handball resulted in a penalty after VAR intervened, and then everything resumed as usual. From the penalty spot, Mo Salah gave the Reds the lead.

Done, then? No. In the 80th minute, Alejandro Garnacho found Amad Diallo to tie the score once more. Perhaps more unbelievable than the first United goal was the second one.

Amad has rapidly emerged as a star under Amorim, and he now has a winning goal against Manchester City in addition to an equaliser at Anfield. Mirror Football examines a few of the game's talking points.

Get rid of the old and bring in the new.

When Ruben Amorim pitted Christian Eriksen and Casemiro against Newcasle, everyone was left perplexed. Joshua Zirkzee's substitution infuriated the crowd, but it was inevitable that United's elderly midfield would lose against a hard-working team.

Therefore, it was not surprising to see a different pick given Liverpool's outstanding midfield. Although Kobbie Mainoo may have been let to faceplant into the snow once, United was in the fight and denied the Reds the space they gave Newcastle in the first half.

The 19-year-old was a true motor in the middle of the pitch and beyond, working brilliantly with Manuel Ugarte to locate gaps and exchange passes. The club would have anticipated building this midfield in the summer and will now feel motivated to do so.

Is Slot correct once more?

Prior to Sunday's meeting, Slot stated, "I think they have a lot better players than the league table currently indicates." "I don't know, it might take some time for Ruben Amorim to get this out of the players, but they will undoubtedly improve and they are far superior to what the league currently displays."

If it weren't halfway through the season, that would be more credible. United would end the day in the Premier League's bottom half whether they won, lost, or drew.

Slot didn't share Roy Keane's perspective. "It is one of the worst looking teams I have seen in a long, long time," he declared prior to the match.

What transpired was a performance that, only a few days prior, seemed unthinkable to everyone watching United. Slot might have knowledge that the rest of us didn't.

"Miracle" GOAL

Before Bruno Fernandes quickly located him in the Liverpool area, Lisandro Martinez shown a great deal of front-foot aggressiveness to drive up the pitch and win the ball. Martinez did the unthinkable by slamming the ball into the net with his left foot with no hesitation.

Despite the fact that United had failed to score in their previous five trips to Anfield, Gary Neville called the Premier League performance a "miracle." Even if the advantage didn't stay long, United demonstrated a desire to give people hope for the future under Amorim something they haven't always had.

Once again, Cody Gakpo delivers.

This season, Mo Salah has garnered a lot of attention due to his undeniable skill, but Liverpool has demonstrated that they have several players who can hold their own. As the Reds faltered, Alexis Mac Allister put up one of the afternoon's stronger performances.

Cody Gakpo, who has a knack for scoring goals, was discovered by the World Cup champion. The 25-year-old has proven to be an important cog in Slot's machine, scoring four goals in his previous five Premier League games.
