Manchester United faced Liverpool in a game many expected them to lose.
Liverpool, flying high under Arne Slot, sat comfortably at the top of the Premier League, while United languished in 14th, struggling for form.
Pre-match predictions heavily favoured a Liverpool rout, but football has a way of defying expectations, especially in fierce rivalries.
United rose to the occasion, battling to a 2-2 draw at Anfield in a game that could have gone either way.
The first half was a cagey affair, with United defending resolutely and limiting Liverpool’s opportunities.
But the second half was a completely different story.
Lisandro Martinez sparked life into the match, scoring a brilliant opener after a dazzling run and an incisive pass from Bruno Fernandes.
For a moment, United found themselves in the uncharted waters of leading at Anfield.
However, two costly errors from Matthijs de Ligt turned the tide.
Cody Gakpo capitalized on the first mistake with a stunning equaliser, and moments later, a clumsy penalty conceded by De Ligt allowed Mohamed Salah to put Liverpool ahead.
With the pressure mounting, Ruben Amorim introduced Alejandro Garnacho, whose cross set up Amad Diallo for the equaliser.
The closing minutes saw both teams chasing a winner, but it was United who came closest.
In a dramatic finale, Harry Maguire smashed the potential winner over the bar from 10 yards.
It was a spirited display from United, showcasing significant improvement and giving fans hope for a turnaround.
