LIVERPOOL, England -- Ruben Amorim tasted back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time as Manchester United manager after Harry Maguire's late headed goal sealed a 2-1 win at Anfield that plunges Liverpool into crisis after a fourth straight loss in all competitions.
Bryan Mbeumo's second-minute goal had given United a dream start until Cody Gakpo, having twice struck the post, leveled for Liverpool in the 78th minute. But United defender Maguire capped a majestic display at the back by heading into the Liverpool net in the 84th minute to score United's first winning goal at Anfield since Wayne Rooney's strike in a 1-0 victory in January 2016.
