Graeme Souness believes the 7-0 victory was more than a fair score for Liverpool who absolutely beat old rivals Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.

Jurgen Klopp’s team put in a performance for all ages with braces from Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah and goals from Roberto Firmino.

The first half was competitive with the hosts breaking through just before the break, but the second half was complete and absolute domination.

Liverpool were sensational in the second half, I told them to win the second half, but I didn’t expect it” Souness told Sky after the match.

Manchester United were runners-up for everything. The result did not flatter Liverpool. Liverpool are raging. United were knocked down by a Liverpool side who were there.

“Spectacular performances today. I just imagined Liverpool today because it’s a tough place for United. Today’s crowd would not allow Liverpool to lose this game. This is the best player to play, make a bad pass and the fans are behind you. The team gave something to be happy about.

“They can’t get away with this. It was a really solid performance today. You have to watch when Manchester United looked threatening in the first half. In the second half, they were first for everything. It was like having an extra man.

It was old Liverpool. Very very impressive. When Liverpool have been at their best over the last five years, the only word that comes to mind is intensity. That has been missing this season.

“Everyone has games when things don’t go their way, but you have to fight. It must be a problem to play for United who get a lot of publicity, far more than any other football club. People with minor personalities can get carried away.
