Manchester United will once again face Liverpool in a much anticipated fixture at Old Trafford.
Peter Drury, a master of football commentary, was at the center stage the last time Liverpool faced the Red Devils.
Liverpool humiliated Manchester United in front of the Kop during a 4-0 thumping. The Egyptian forward Mohammed Salah scored a double. Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane scored one each. This match highlighted the gap between the two clubs.
We now look back at some of the quotes from Peter Drury in the build up for the upcoming fixture.
0-1 – Luis Diaz
“Mane – that’s a smashing ball! And Salah is on his way… he rolls it in for Diaz!”
“It’s taken Liverpool next to no time. So smooth, just so smooth! Who lives with them?”
0-2 Mohammed Salah
“Matip. Diaz. Matip. Mane… oh that’s glorious. Salah…
“That’s beautiful! Oooooh that is gorgeous. A simply sumptuous Liverpool goal. There really is no improvement on that. Players at their absolute zenith! Just watch this series of passes and purr.
“Players at their absolute zenith.”
0-3 Sadio Mane
“It’s Luis Diaz… It’s Sadio Mane… It’s three.
“Another Sadio Mane gift to the Kop, in front of the Kop. There’s no reeling in Liverpool now. They have ripped up the other Reds once more.”
0-4 Mohammed Salah
“Here’s Mo Salah…
“And Salah has dinked it in delightfully. Teasingly. Tantalisingly. Magically. In front of the Kop. 4-0 Liverpool. Hitting the heights, and haunting United again.”
At full-time whistle, Drury commented further: “Liverpool supreme, Manchester United a galaxy away”. This was one of the iconic quotes by the English commentator.
