Manchester United End 10-Year Anfield Curse with Thrilling 2–1 Win Over Liverpool

Underrated Manchester United stunned the Premier League on October 19, 2025, after clinching a dramatic 2–1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield — their first triumph at the historic ground since 2015. Under new manager Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils delivered a statement performance that ended a decade-long drought and reignited belief among their fans.

Liverpool struck first through Mohamed Salah, who converted a fine team move in the early stages to give the hosts an expected lead. But United, undeterred by the Anfield crowd, found their rhythm and fought back fiercely. Bruno Fernandes, wearing the captain’s armband, equalized with a stunning curling finish before Rasmus Højlund sealed the comeback late in the second half with a composed strike past Alisson.

A viral match graphic showing Fernandes’ celebration perfectly captured the night’s emotion — the Portuguese midfielder roaring toward the traveling supporters as if to exorcise years of frustration. Amorim’s tactical setup, marked by high pressing and swift counterattacks, suffocated Liverpool’s usual rhythm and showcased a new, confident United side.

The loss marks Liverpool’s fourth consecutive defeat, raising serious questions about manager Arne Slot’s tactical decisions and defensive frailties. What began as a promising campaign for the Reds has quickly turned turbulent, with fans demanding answers as the team slips further from title contention.

For Manchester United, however, the victory signals a resurgence. The win lifts them to 6th place in the Premier League table, with 15 points from eight matches — and, perhaps more importantly, restores pride in a fixture that had long tormented their supporters.

As Amorim’s project begins to take shape, United fans are daring to believe again. Anfield, once a graveyard for their ambitions, may just have become the birthplace of their revival.
