    Best team won. Manchester United were very poor. People will see the score and say wow what a game it must have been but for 70 minutes Liverpool dominated and thoroughly deserved it.

    Job done. They will have a different game against West Brom. They will ask the centre halves questions but they will look at these fixtures and say they can win, they can qualify.

    Overall this game tonight Liverpool have been the best side.

    GOAL - Man Utd 2-4 Liverpoolpublished at 89 mins

    Mohamed Salah

    Game over!

    Manchester United have everybody up and Fabinho wins it back for Liverpool on the edge of his area.

    Curtis Jones helps it on to Mohamed Salah and he races through one-on-one with Dean Henderson.

    He coolly places it to Henderson right and in the bottom corner.

    Lewis Bleddyn: What do Fred and McTominay add to this team? As a neutral I have never been impressed by them in a single man utd game - can anyone explain why they are played?

    Tonyonduli: The refereeing has been disgraceful. I wonder whether he has a signed Utd. shirt on his wall at home?

    Oooft.

    Marcus Rashford was nearby.

    That tempo Manchester United were playing the last 15 minutes or so seems to have cooled down a bit. Liverpool are back in control, Manchester United need to up the tempo again.

    Liverpool are just starting to slow things down now though. They are breaking up play, remaining organised and allowing United to move it around the middle.

    Man Utd are injecting some pace. They want to get things moving sharply. They have around 10 minutes to find an equaliser.

    He needs to be careful now, Scott McTominay. He slips awkwardly and pulls down Sadio Mane in the process.

    The Liverpool forward was about to skip away into the box. Anthony Taylor considers it for a moment but waves it away.

    A yellow for Scott McTominay as he goes over the ball and catches Fabinho with his studs.

    A quick VAR check rubbishes any notion for a red.
