In the absence of talismanic forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United were dismantled by arch-rivals Liverpool in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
The Portuguese star missed the game after he announced the death of his newborn son the previous day.
Both Manchester United and Liverpool sported black armbands in solidarity with Cristiano Ronaldo and his family during such a difficult time for them.
The Anfield crowd also joined in by acknowledging the mourning in the seventh minute.
Jurgen Klopp’s side were clearly superior from the first minute of the game and continued through rest of the half.

Salah then completed the rout with his second in the 85th minute with a clever dink over De Gea to cap it off as Liverpool moved top of the Premier League table.
