In a game that had everything, it was a moment of pure instinct and athleticism that stole the show. Leny Yoro, the young Manchester United defender, produced a last-ditch tackle on Darwin Nunez that saved his side a point in the thrilling 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield.

With the game poised on a knife-edge, Mohamed Salah played a perfectly weighted through ball to release Nunez, who was bearing down on goal. The Uruguayan striker looked certain to score, but Yoro, who had been tracking back from his centre-back position, timed his challenge to perfection. With a perfectly timed sliding tackle, he dispossessed Nunez and cleared the danger.

The tackle was met with gasps of astonishment from the crowd and has since gone viral on social media. It was a moment of pure brilliance from a young player who is quickly establishing himself as a real talent.
