Liverpool result leaves Erik Ten Hag privately angry as Alex Ferguson reaction spotted

A year ago today, Liverpool embarrassed their rivals Manchester United in historic fashion with a 7-0 drubbing at Anfield.

It had been a difficult season for the Reds and United went into the game more confident than ever of a result, only to be on the receiving end of a humbling from Jurgen Klopp's men.

Here is LFC correspondent Paul Gorst's full match verdict from Anfield:

In time, they will talk about this in the same revered tones as some of the finest ever league performances in the storied history of Liverpool Football Club. Perhaps no hyperbole can truly do justice to events at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

Manchester United, a side who we were informed had made giant strides under Erik ten Hag since their last visit here in April, were blown way off course with one of the most emphatic, dominant and complete displays ever from the Reds against their historic rivals. Or anyone else for that matter.

For this generation, this will now become their Liverpool 5-0 Nottingham Forest; their Liverpool 7-0 Tottenham; their Liverpool 4-0 Real Madrid. It will stand alongside anything else that has gone before it at this famous old footballing venue. It was that good.

AS IT HAPPENED: Liverpool vs Manchester United goals, final score and reaction

Liverpool 7-0 Manchester United: at times, it defied logic. Just how were a supposedly much-improved United so comprehensively over-run, out-played and out-fought by a Reds side who have been struggling to put two paces in front of one another virtually all season?
