Manchester:Manchester United's winless streak continued as they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory over Brighton at Anfield in the Premier League.
According to Anadolu Agency – English, Bournemouth opened the scoring shortly before halftime when Rayan netted a low shot past Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens. Bournemouth then doubled their lead four minutes later with Tavernier finishing from close range after a slip by United's Leny Yoro. Evanilson sealed the victory, taking advantage of a long ball from Lewis Cook amidst windy conditions to score Bournemouth's third goal.
The defeat leaves Manchester United struggling to find their form as they prepare to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next Saturday. Despite efforts from players like Diogo Dalot and Mason Mount, United could not find the back of the net. Late substitutions, including Joshua Zirkzee and Shea Lacey, did little to change the outcome.
In contrast, Liverpool maintained their impressive form with a fourth consecutive win in all competitions. Wirtz opened the scoring for Liverpool in the 17th minute, capitalizing on a half-cleared cross. A deflected effort off Gross extended Liverpool's lead before halftime. Despite Brighton's attempts to fight back, including a shot from Yasin Ayari that hit the post, Liverpool's defense held strong to secure a clean sheet.
Liverpool's victory moves them up to fourth in the Premier League standings, showcasing their strong performance this season. Brighton's efforts to claw back into the game were unsuccessful, as Liverpool managed to control the match and exploit counterattacking opportunities.
