England’s professional football Manchester United beat Liverpool, which they met again in the FA Cup, one week after a draw in the Premier League (EPL) match, and advanced to the round of 16 of the tournament.

Manchester United won 3-2 in the match against Liverpool in the FA Cup Round 4 (Round of 32) of the 2020-21 season held at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 25th (Korean time) thanks to the winning goal of Bruno Fernandes.

Liverpool scored the opening goal that day. In the 18th minute of the first half, Mohamed Salah passed the goalkeeper and succeeded in a chip shot by Roberto Firminou, who swept through Manchester United’s defense as if he had measured it with a ruler. However, Manchester United, which is running undefeated in 13 EPL games (10 wins and 3 draws) in the league, did not go well. Eight minutes later, Mason Greenwood equalized with a right-footed shot from Marcus Rashford’s long diagonal pass to the box from the far left of the halfline. In the second half of the 3rd minute, Rashford and Greenwood changed their roles, and Manchester United collaborated to create a reverse hotpot like Decalcomani.

Liverpool tied 2-2 with Salah added a goal in the 13th minute of the second half, but Fernandez scored the winning goal in the 33rd minute with an awl-like right foot free kick. Salah scored the most goals with Harry Kane (Tottenham) among EPL players with 19 goals in the season (13 EPL, 3 European Champions League, 3 FA Cup), but the team’s defeat was fading.
