    Roberto Firmino

    Trent Alexander-Arnold's delivery from the free-kick is excellent. He curls it towards the back post and Roberto Firmino escapes Paul Pogba to thump a header past Dean Henderson.

    Great touch. It has been coming. Liverpool have deserved this equaliser. Manchester Untied were good for 15 minutes and then switched off.

    Lovely goal.

    Diogo Jota

    United fail to deal with the corner and Nat Phillips is allowed to dribble across the box before drilling a shot.

    It squeezes dangerously through the six-yard area and Diogo Jota reacts quickest to flick it in with a backheel from close range.

    Regular Jon: Very few times since its introduction have we praised the use of VAR. Fortunately this is one of the rare occasions where we can. Well done

    Peter Campbell: People have been sent off this season for challenges less that that. How is that not a penalty?!?

    Noodles: Even as a United supporter I'm very confused how that's been given as a Bruno goal. It was going in a completely different direction.
