(VIDEO) Klopp’s jest following Manchester United’s shocking Carabao Cup defeat
With a 2-1 victory over fellow top team Bournemouth, Liverpool—who also used a handful of replacements even though Mohamed Salah started—moved closer to the quarterfinals. Cody Gakpo (31), a Dutchman, gave the Reds the lead, and Justin Kluivert (64), a home team player, equalized in the 64th. Darwin Núñez (70), a substitute for Uruguay, scored the game’s winning goal for Jürgen Klopp’s team.
At Old Trafford, Newcastle defeated Manchester United 3-0 in the other main dish of the day. The goals came from Paraguayan players Miguel Almiron in the 28th minute, Lewis Hall in the 36th, and Joe Willock in the 60th. Newcastle, which eliminated Manchester City from the competition at the end of September, exacted revenge on the team who defeated them in the League Cup final of the previous season on Wednesday.
As Manchester United continues to play inconsistently this season, pressure is building on Dutch manager Erik Ten Hag. After Newcastle’s defeat at Old Trafford, Manchester United’s issues are just getting worse. Miguel Almirón of Paraguay scored the game’s lone goal in the round of 16 of the Carabao Cup. Alejandro Garnacho, an Argentine, was named in Erik ten Hag’s starting lineup, but the team really lacks an answer.
Klopp’s response
While Jurgen Klopp was watching Manchester United vs. Newcastle at his press conference on Liverpool’s triumph against Bournemouth, he had an unmatched reaction to our rival’s elimination, which went viral on social media.
