LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool has brought Manchester United crashing down to earth in a stunning 7-0 rout in the Premier League at Anfield. Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah all struck twice and Roberto Firmino scored the other with six of the goals coming in an explosive second-half performance. United experienced its heaviest defeat in the Premier League. The defeat was also Erik ten Hag’s heaviest as United manager and seriously hampered his four-pronged pursuit of trophies with a Premier League title challenge now looking increasingly unlikely. Liverpool took advantage of losses for top four rivals Newcastle and Tottenham on Saturday to strengthen its own bid to qualify for the Champions League.
