Liverpool have thrashed Manchester United 7-0 in the Premier League – United’s heaviest defeat since Boxing Day 1931.
It is the first time the Red Devils have lost by seven goals in any competition since that loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers more than 90 years ago.
“It’s one for the history books,” said Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler. “No one could have predicted this scoreline.”
There were also 7-0 losses to Aston Villa in December 1930 and Blackburn Rovers in April 1926, analytics company Stats Perform said.
Former United captain Gary Neville said his former club’s performance had been an “absolute disgrace, a shambles”.
He added: “It’s not their usual spirit and form. (Erik) Ten Hag (United manager) will deal with it, I’m sure, like he’s dealt with other difficult issues.”
