    Daniel: Michael Oliver is regarded as one of our best referees. To not hand out a second booking to Fernandes was an awful decision. Completely bottled it.

    John: Felt a bit maverick for Erik ten Hag to take off all of United's fastest forwards while a possession-dominant Liverpool side were chasing an equaliser.

    This has to be a sign of what's to come, because what we've seen tonight, we haven't seen for 12 months.

    Ten Hag has done something to the players, because I can't believe what I've just watched over the last 90 minutes. Liverpool are one of the great sides of recent seasons.

    ALL OVER!

    Under-pressure United secure their first victory of the season - and the first under Erik ten Hag - with a highly impressive showing to kick start their campaign.

    They leapfrog Liverpool in the table and the Reds remain winless this term.

    Robin: That's what happens when you bring Fred on. I'm not surprised Liverpool are back in this game. United have been so good without him.

    Dennis: United's weakness at defending corners was hugely exposed there.

    Liam: Bruno Fernandes is such a dislikable footballer. You have talent; no need to act like a petulant child on the pitch. It's embarrassing.
