And that was followed by another shoddy home performance that saw Crystal Palace claim a 1-0 win to seriously hamper their title ambitions.

For Manchester United fans, it has been a delight to watch their old rivals crumble at a crucial moment in the season as they struggle themselves.

That includes Littler, who is a Red Devils supporter and has revelled in Liverpool's woe for the second time.

The 17-year-old darting superstar took to social media to troll the Reds with a WWE meme.

It showed a wrestler denoted as Liverpool by their club badge first get decked by another with the Atalanta badge.

Then Randy Orton, with a Crystal Palace badge, delivered an RKO on the Liverpool wrestler to leave them flat out on the canvas.

The caption read with a laughing emoji and skull emoji: "Liverpool this week."

Liverpool travelled to United nearly two weeks ago and were expected to batter their rivals but ended up drawing 2-2.

Red Devils fans rejoiced as it helped derail their season and now Jurgen Klopp's side are on a run of three matches without a win.

Liverpool face Atalanta in the second leg of their Europa League tie on Thursday night and now face an uphill battle to qualify for the semi-finals.

They then take on Fulham at Craven Cottage in desperate need of a win after falling behind in the title race.

While they are still only two points adrift of league leaders Manchester City, there is a fear that they have lost their momentum but also benefited from the fact that Arsenal lost too.

However, City are in rampant form in front of goal, scoring 16 in their last four matches, and it will take something special to halt them after going top.
