Manchester United have just shown how far they’ve fallen with Liverpool taunts
It’s not very often that Liverpool win a game of football and there is an air of disappointment around the majority connected with the club.

Three goals in the space of five minutes for Man City saw Liverpool’s title chances come to an end, despite Salah and Robertson later scoring for the Reds. Another 90-plus point season with no title.

United lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace to finish sixth in the league table with their lowest points total in the Premier League era (58). It was United’s 12 league defeat of the campaign, as they finished 34 points behind Liverpool.
