Missed Chances ‘Beef’ Up Top-Of-The-Table Premier League Clash

Honours were even at Anfield on Sunday evening as the most anticipated match of the Premier League season failed to produce goals. Drab, but full of misses yet.

Now, I’m not sure what Bruno Fernandes meant when he turned his gilt-edged chance into the feet of Alisson Becker in the 75th minute. The Portuguese had earlier curled wide from a freekick and should be burying that one.

Would he had been denied if he got the execution right? Not sure.

But this big game was not going to live up to expectation. Even after that hushed first half.

Moments later, it was Thiago Alcantara that let rip from 25 yards, boy, that strike had me on my feet??!!?! But Dave came across to push away. Exhales.

Next, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, so immense he was, on the break picked out Paul Pogba who could only direct his effort straight at Allison. Another missed effort.

The game ended goalless, but not without a host of spurned chances. Manchester United were the bigger of the culprit but both sides can look back at having passed up important points.
