Despite having Premier League survival to worry about, Leeds United supporters are taking great pleasure from witnessing Manchester United’s relative struggles. The Red Devils were humbled once again on Tuesday evening as a rampant Liverpool side demolished them 4-0 at Anfield.
Their hopes of finishing in the Champions League places were dealt another huge blow after they had been handed a lifeline by Tottenham and Arsenal who both lost at the weekend. However, any belief of an unlikely victory at Liverpool soon diminished after five minutes when Luis Diaz put Jurgen Klopp’s side in front.
It got worse for the visitors midway through the first half as the relentless pressure told and a fantastic passing sequence led to a quite brilliant goal from Mohamed Salah. One Leeds fan who particularly enjoyed it was James Milner, who had a front row seat as one of the substitutes in the home dug out.

The official Liverpool Twitter account tweeted the video of the former Whites midfielder’s reaction to the goal and, unsurprisingly, it gained plenty of traction on social media.
The home side went on to score another couple of unanswered goals to ensure their aggregate score for the season against their rivals stood at 9-0, the largest in the Premier League history of the fixture. As for Milner, he was introduced from the bench with less than five minutes left of the match but he still would have been grinning from ear to ear with his Leeds allegiances surely in the back of his mind.
