HARRY MAGUIRE REFLECTS ON TACTICAL DISCIPLINE IN UNITED’S 2–1 WIN OVER LIVERPOOL

Harry Maguire kick-started the move for the opener with a strong header and scored the winner in remarkable circumstances.

According to Harry Maguire, Manchester United will use their victory over Liverpool on the road as "inspiration" to advance in the Premier League this year.

In the 84th minute, with the match in a draw, the 32-year-old climbed over a packed box to tip the winner past Giorgi Marmardashvili.

As he completed our first victory at Anfield since 2016, Maguire ran over to boldly tap the United emblem on his breast, causing jubilant scenes in the away end.

Although it was an amazing event, the Englishman is adamant that the team will not overreact to Sunday's festivities and would instead use the victory as inspiration to continue improving.

"We know this club is not in a position to get carried away, so we will not get carried away," Maguire told Sky Sports following the game.

We must take this as inspiration to get to the heights that [Liverpool] have attained recently, as that is where this team ought to be.

This week will be very important to this club, and on Saturday, we have Brighton at home.

We are aware that this is a significant victory and that we will be highly discussed this week. The boys must maintain their composure.

Maguire is aware of the significance of this Anfield victory for United, even though attention will soon turn to that 17:30 match the following Saturday.

He said, "It means everything." "It is only three points," goes the old cliche, yet it is not at all.

For the lads, the team, and the supporters, it means much more than that.

"Even though there are only three points up for grabs, it is wonderful to come here and defeat Liverpool since, as I mentioned earlier, they have been a top team for years and have surpassed us in recent years."

DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.

The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.

"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."

Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.

Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.

No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.

Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.

Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.

Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
