Liverpool hosted Manchester United at home for the 30th date of the Premier League. A duel with a huge history and that has a special touch on the field of play due to the rivalry of these two teams. Jürgen Klopp once again gave Luis Díaz his vote of confidence and started as a starter in the offensive trident formed by Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané. The Colombian did not disappoint the German coach or Anfield.

Five minutes after the start of the match, a collective play by Liverpool ended in a leaked pass from Sadio Mané to Mohamed Salah who escaped by the side and first gave a precise pass to Luis Diaz who on the right beat goalkeeper De Gea and scored the first goal of the match. Anfield exploded and the Colombian scored his fourth goal with the 'Reds' shirt.

Liverpool dominated a distracted Manchester United who failed to fit in the pieces needed to face one of the two best teams of the season in England. The second goal came to 21′ after a great collective play where Matip, Diaz, Mané intervened who passed the ball in a precise way so that Salah scored the second. The Colombian continued to stand out throughout the engagement and was again decisive in the 67th minute when he assisted Mané to score the third of the night.
