The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

The referee saw this and ran over in a hurry. He blew the whistle and signaled the players on both sides to calm down. The referee walked over to Van Dijk, showed him a red card, and pointed to the penalty spot. Van Dijk did not make any excuses, but turned around and walked off the court silently. He knew that his actions were indeed dangerous.

Seeing the referee's decision, the Manchester United fans in the stands cheered like a tsunami.

The bench of the visiting team Liverpool was another world. When Van Dijk was shown a red card and a penalty was awarded, the Liverpool bench exploded. Head coach Klopp and assistant coach Kravitz were full of anger. They were extremely dissatisfied with Van Dijk being given a red card + penalty. Klopp stood up, waving his hands, and walked towards the fourth official emotionally. His face flushed and his eyes burned with anger.

"How can this be a red card + penalty? This penalty is too unfair!" Klopp protested loudly to the fourth official. His voice was still clearly audible in the noisy stadium, as if he wanted to pour out all his dissatisfaction. Klopp's body language was full of power, and he kept gesturing, trying to make the fourth official understand his point of view.

Assistant coach Kravitz on the side couldn't hold back his anger, and he also joined the protest. Kravitz's expression was even more excited, and his voice was even louder than Klopp's. "This is simply a wrong penalty! You can't treat us like this!" Kravitz roared, his eyes full of doubts about the referee's penalty.

The fourth official seemed helpless in the face of Klopp and Kravitz's strong protests. He tried to calm the two down, but Klopp and Kravitz didn't listen at all. They continued to express their dissatisfaction loudly, as if they wanted the whole stadium to hear their voices.

After seeing the situation here, the referee quickly ran over. His face was serious, and there was a hint of majesty in his eyes. The referee walked up to Klopp and showed a yellow card without hesitation. Klopp became even angrier after seeing the yellow card. He wanted to continue protesting, but the referee's eyes let him know that if he continued, he might face a more severe punishment.

However, Kravitz did not stop because the referee showed Klopp a yellow card. He was still protesting loudly, and even pushed the fourth official who came to persuade him to calm down. Seeing this, the referee decisively showed Kravitz a red card. Kravitz's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he was sent off with a red card. He still wanted to argue, but the referee's decision was irreversible.

After dealing with the incident on the Liverpool bench, the referee turned around and expelled the Liverpool players who came to protest, and signaled the fourth official on the sidelines to make substitutions:

For Manchester United, Diogo Dalot replaced Ashraf Hakimi who was injured and left the field;

For Liverpool, Dejan Lovren replaced Sadio Mane, and replaced the striker with a central defender to replace Virgil van Dijk who was sent off to consolidate the defense.

Seeing Sadio Mane, who was unhappy, he took the initiative to extend his right hand and handed over a bath towel and warm clothes, which was considered to be a proactive comfort to Sadio Mane.

After the substitution, Marco Verratti stood in front of the penalty spot with a firm and focused look. He gently patted the football and adjusted his breathing. As the referee blew the whistle, Marco Verratti took a run-up and kicked the ball in one go. The ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball. Although Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker tried his best to save it, the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky. The ball went into the net, and Old Trafford was boiling instantly. Manchester United players cheered and Marco Verratti also ran to celebrate excitedly. This penalty goal once again expanded Manchester United's lead.

4:2, Manchester United led by two goals in the first English national derby of this season.

After the restart, Liverpool, who were two goals behind and one man short, did not give up. They ran hard and continued to strengthen their attack.

In the 78th minute, Salah received a pass from Henderson on the right, cut inside and shot hard, but the ball was saved by De Gea. Firmino followed up with a shot, but the ball was saved by De Gea again. Liverpool's attack was very fierce, but Manchester United's defense was also very solid.

In the 82nd minute, Firmino received a pass from Tavares on the left and broke through Theo Fernandez's defense. He cut inside and made a cross, and the ball accurately found Salah. Salah jumped high and headed the ball into the net again. Liverpool recovered a goal 4:3.

Including injury time, there were about ten minutes left before the end of the game. Liverpool, who were only one goal behind, rekindled hope and boosted morale.After losing the ball, Manchester United coach Mourinho also made a quick personnel adjustment. He first replaced Theo Fernandez, who performed particularly well in this game, with Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe). Theo Fernandez, who almost contracted the attack and defense on the left side of Manchester United in this game, had very little physical strength left at this time. After Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe) came on the court, he partnered with Raphael Varane as a central defender, and Ruben Dias changed to play as a left back. Then Dani Olmo replaced Bruno Fernandez and made a midfield substitution.

In the 86th minute of the game, the tension at Old Trafford reached its peak. Liverpool launched a crazy counterattack when they fell behind.

At this time, Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson quickly observed the situation on the field after taking the ball in the midfield. He saw Mohamed Salah rushing forward at high speed, and he sent a precise long pass without hesitation. Mohamed Salah rushed to Manchester United's penalty area like a black lightning. Manchester United defenders Ruben Dias and Raphael Varane hurried back to defend, but Mohamed Salah was too fast and they could only chase him desperately.

After entering the penalty area, Mohamed Salah chose a low shot facing Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea. De Gea reacted quickly and fell to the ground to save the ball from the bottom line. Liverpool got a corner kick opportunity. Henderson walked to the corner flag area and prepared to take the corner kick. At this time, Liverpool players rushed into Manchester United's penalty area to compete for headers. Manchester United players were also on guard, staring closely at Liverpool players and not daring to relax at all.

Henderson took a high-quality corner kick and the ball flew to the center of Manchester United's penalty area. Roberto Firmino jumped high and his header was very threatening. However, Manchester United defender Ruben Dias stepped up at the critical moment and blocked the ball from the bottom line with his body. Although Liverpool's attack did not score a goal, their momentum was getting stronger and stronger.

In the 89th minute, Liverpool launched another threatening attack. After receiving a pass from his teammate on the right, Mohamed Salah broke through two Manchester United defenders with his excellent dribbling skills. After Salah entered the penalty area, facing Manchester United's central defender combination, he did not choose to force a shot, but passed the ball back to Roberto Firmino who followed up.

After Firmino received the ball, he shot directly. The ball flew towards Manchester United's goal like a cannonball, but Manchester United's goalkeeper De Gea made another wonderful save. He flew to save the ball and resolved the crisis. Liverpool's players felt very sorry, they knew they had missed a great opportunity to equalize the score.

As time went on, the game entered the injury time. The physical strength of the players on both sides was close to the limit, but they were still fighting for victory. In the 92nd minute, Manchester United defender Keppler Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe) successfully intercepted the ball in a defense. Without any hesitation, Pepe quickly passed the ball to Dani Olmo in the midfield.

After receiving the ball, Dani Olmo immediately showed his speed and skills. He rushed along the left road, and the football under his feet seemed to be integrated with his feet. Liverpool's defenders rushed forward to block. Olmo's eyes were firm, and he keenly observed the opponent's defensive position. Facing the first Liverpool defender who rushed up, Olmo suddenly stopped and changed direction, and the opponent's defender instantly lost his center of gravity and staggered into the air. Then, Olmo accelerated again and rushed forward like a whirlwind. Another Liverpool defender was in front of him, and Olmo was not afraid. He cleverly tapped the ball with his right foot, then quickly turned to the left and shook the opponent again. At this time, Olmo was like a man in a deserted place. He continued to move forward and entered Liverpool's half.

At this time, Dani Olmo saw the space in front of him, and he kicked a long shot without hesitation. The ball flew towards Liverpool's goal like a cannonball. Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson Becker was fully focused, and he reacted quickly and flew to the ball. However, Dani Olmo's shot was too powerful and the angle was very tricky. Although Alisson made a save, he did not touch the ball; but unfortunately, the cheers after the goal did not appear, and the ball was rejected by the crossbar at the last moment. After the ball bounced back into the field, it was grabbed by Liverpool's defender.

Liverpool wanted to launch a counterattack immediately, but the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Old Trafford was boiling instantly, and Manchester United fans cheered,They cheered for the team's victory. The Liverpool players looked very frustrated.
