After seeing what they thought was an early goal ruled out for offside, Liverpool broke the tie with 35 minutes left. Ryan Gravenberch picked off a pass that Casemiro missed, moved forward, slipped in Mohamed Salah, and the forward sent in a beautiful cross for Luis Diaz to score.
Casemiro made the goal by playing a first-time pass that was meant to find Kobbie Mainoo. The Brazilian soon made another mistake that led to Liverpool’s second goal, which was scored by Diaz after Salah set him up.
Keane knew that Casemiro’s pass set up Liverpool’s first goal, but he was angry that there was not enough defense cover in the wide areas. In an attempt, both Mazraoui and Dalot went after Casemiro’s pass, which looked like it would help United move up the field.
Before the break, Keane told Sky Sports, “Casemiro made a mistake here. That is not a first-time pass, no matter how experienced he is.” It is not worth the risk.
“They are all over the place when they lose the ball.” Players can make mistakes, but they are all over the place.
“Look at your right back. Where is it?” Where is your left back? You are not in charge.
“Liverpool is strong enough to beat them.” “Good players will get back at you.”
