Liverpool, on their visit to Turf Moor, where Manchester United dropped two points during the week, did not fail in the one that saw the return to ownership of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané after the Africa Cup that the latter took with Senegal.
With the return of the two strongest legs of Jürgen Klopp’s trident, the Colombian Luis Díaz was relegated to the bench after his great match against Leicester City.

This was Fabinho’s fifth goal in the last seven games, the sixth overall this season.
