Liverpool’s hopes for clinching the Premier League title were met with disappointment as they played out a 2-2 draw against Manchester United on Sunday. Spectacular goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo denied Liverpool a crucial victory in their title challenge.
Despite dominating the game, Liverpool found themselves trailing after Fernandes’ audacious lob from inside the Liverpool half caught goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher off guard. Mainoo’s stunning curler further compounded Liverpool’s woes, leaving them trailing 2-1.
A late Mohamed Salah penalty salvaged a point for Liverpool, but the draw leaves them trailing Premier League leaders Arsenal on goal difference and just one point ahead of Manchester City with seven games remaining in the intense title race.

The result leaves Liverpool reflecting on missed opportunities, with manager Jurgen Klopp likely to rue his team’s inability to capitalize on their dominance. Despite a flurry of chances, including efforts from Dominik Szoboszlai, Salah, and Darwin Nunez, Liverpool failed to convert their chances into goals.
Luis Diaz had given Liverpool the lead with a well-taken goal in the first half, but defensive lapses allowed United back into the game. Klopp’s frustration was evident as he made tactical substitutions to spark a late comeback, with Harvey Elliott and Cody Gakpo entering the fray.
Despite their disappointment, Liverpool remains in contention for the title, but they will need to be more clinical in front of goal if they are to secure their 20th English top-flight title. The draw also does little to boost United’s hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League, as they remain adrift of the top four.
With the title race heating up, every point matters, and Liverpool will be hoping to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures to keep their title dreams alive.
