preeminent rivalry in English football
the players take the knee as part of the
Premier League's no room for racism
campaign n of these teams is chasing the
Premier League title and the other has
the chance to derail them it adds yet
more spice to the tastiest of
occasions we've set off here at the
biggest Club Stadium in the country Old
Trafford with the rain teaming down from
leaden Skies Liverpool in their change
kit and on the attack already with ls
Diaz samir's clearance brought down by
the Japanese International Endo it's the
usual breathless start here and rashford
plays it forward to Bruno Fernandez and
garnacho looked in an offside position
flag stays down for now he tucks the
ball away and the flag then predictably
goes up it's not going to
count no but it's great
encouragement that yes he was
fractionally offside but offside is
offside and um we felt it in our
position we had a good view of it that
he had just gone a little bit too early
when the ball was released but you know
it it it has to give them that little
bit more belief but here in moving the
bus up the pitch it didn't go as
smoothly as they would have liked and
they had to gamble heavily to get over
the line Salah has picked out Dominic
suide really important save by the left
hand of
Anana Salah Liverpool continuing to
press Maguire fails to clear properly
rashford helps him out
brilliant stop by
Anana
Robertson Salah
soas yeah I mean maybe earlier in the
season that might have have gone in he's
not been as accurate but that was very
close Roberts
and steered gooods but not guided On
Target by
sasl yeah I just wonder whether there
was a little slip in the process and
soas couldn't get himself in the right
balance to make the right connection he
wanted because it's really well worked
as far as Robertson and yeah you would
you would have expected something better
from
him second in the table a point behind
Arsenal after the Gunner's victory at
Brighton
yesterday one points with Manchester
City
Robertson and nun and it's
Diaz turning sweeping and
[Applause]
scoring and whilst it doesn't entirely
silence Old Trafford Liverpool's
traveling support sees to that it
certainly marks a change in the
mood
it's hard sometimes to stay with your
man and just Watch What Happens here
with ju basaka Nunes just steals a yard
on him to get the flick on and of course
you've got somebody loitering far post
and it's Luis Diaz in this case and all
he had to do was just get solid contact
on this effort and it was likely to find
the back of the
net I mean even though are three back on
the
line as long as he got Pace behind it he
was pretty much bound to find it and
yeah the little escape from
Nunes Bruno Fernandez
casemiro right across the face without a
telling Manchester United touch I
remember thinking in one stage there
should kellerer be reading that should
be a little more active off his line
because they seem to get the timing just
right and casemiro can't do any more
than that I mean it's a lovely little
cushion header back across the 6-y box
and you would have thought somebody
would have been taken that risk
[Applause]
more state by CA and it's allowed Darwin
Nunes
in and Cala got back to make a challenge
yeah well done because he knew the
mistake was there and he had
to make up for it and he did just that
just glanced off a shame and obviously
he knew that Nunes had to cut
inside
[Applause]
mallister so many viable options he's
chosen Diaz this is Salah and that was a
n yeah I can understand though while why
he decided to hit it first time and this
has been kind of the story of manchest
United season that getting caught a
little higher up the pitch and
opposition getting behind their Midfield
and it was the pick out was perfect on
his left foot but he couldn't quite find
the corner and it's it's not the most
difficult from monana it's almost like a
a little TV
[Applause]
save
nun flag now goes up on the far side as
we move into 2 minutes of Lexus stoppage
time
yeah I mean I think it's it's it's too
easy at times as well for the the
fullbacks look I mean it's Robertson who
plays this and he is slightly offside
Nunes when it comes back and man it did
Palm it away
[Applause]
again
quansa that's careless the youngster and
kellerer was off his line and Manchester
United are back on
terms in the most unlikely of
Fashions graner might well hang his
head the youngster caught out Bruno
Fernandez taking the widespread
acclaim
well that is a similar tone to
Liverpool's last visit here and
quansa obviously will be sick of the
fact that he's just made a bad bad
decision here and he was just too casual
and you have to commend that he's not
been having the greatest day Fernandez
but why take a touch and look for
support why not just have a look up and
see if the keeper has drifted out and
Keller her had and that's a beautiful
finish from Bruno Fernandez absolutely
brilliant but Gerald k
quansa has just had a momentary
Nightmare and how close to the end of
the season we are
Mayu
rashford casemiro
now gacho deflected corner
kick and all of a sudden Manchester
United have come to
life deflections are all the rage in
recent
times and that's an awkward ball
in causing all sorts of consternation
devilish to defend it's that horrible
one for a goalkeeper because you don't
know whether there's going to be some
contact on it and he must have thought
casemiro was getting there there so
credit him for
anticipating it getting to
him Liverpool's turn to be on the
ropes read by SOS life for Liverpool and
the break is on and Liverpool have the
numbers here five of them Salah Diaz
Nunes John I I cannot believe that Nunes
has decided to knock it across the 6-y
box and not look for Sabai he was
perfectly
positioned and when Manchester United
got caught here it looked as if they
were going to get the severest
punishment and everything to this point
was looking quite Rosy and look at Soso
all he has to do is just feed it back
and he's got an empty
[Applause]
net I mean are Liverpool going to repeat
what happened on their last visit and
let United off the
hook Bruno Fernandez
no conviction about those in red
rashford teased in and kellerer juggles
and
collects
Waka
Mayu a career defining moment
perhaps for 18-year-old Kobi Mayu
Liverpool in
trouble question mark against the title
hopes and the youngster from down the
road in
Stockport has raised the roof at Old
Trafford well this is Sensational I mean
we know this kid has huge
potential and he he's shown shown some
delightful football in Midfield but to
come up with something like
this is just absolutely Sensational I
mean to have the little turn and the
awareness of what was around him and
what he might be able to produce and it
doesn't come any better than that I mean
ker is never getting there one touch
swivel far
corner and for Jurgen club that don't
impress him too
much
This spells trouble
Elliot and Harvey Elliot it's a
penalty oh this is really clumsy this is
panic from W basaka absolute Madness
he's completely panicked and just thrown
himself and given an excuse to
Elliot oh dear trailing to your great
Rivals and time fast running
out it's sah and it is two a piece at
Old
Trafford maybe with power to
add well when you reflect back on
Thursday night against Sheffield United
and his substitution and the anger at
the fact that he was taken
off it looks like he's just bottled it
all up and and used it to find the back
of the net now he's obviously moved on
from all of that and now this is another
big Plus in Liverpool's favor and who
knows what way this might swing from
here 27 goals in the final quarter of an
hour more than a third of their
total and they won't care if it's The
Late Late
Show Mason Mount is on in the wake of
that
goal
Anthony well credit to Robertson because
at least he stayed there and Anthony
knew that that he had to get a shot away
late
deciders won't be much more Beyond this
it's
Robertson it's Maguire it's
Elliots wow he he can't hit it any
better than that on his weaker
side and that does it a setback for
Liverpool not as severe as it might have
been they are the ones that blinked and
failed to return to their perch at the
top Arsenal remain at the summit after
topy turby game that Liverpool seemed to
have within their grasp and well under
control when they LED at halim through
Luis Diaz and then Quan's mistake Bruno
Fernandez from distance 1-1 kobby Mayu
with a a world e for 2-1 and 6 minutes
from time the calmest of penalties from
Muhammad Salah Rebecca this certainly
hasn't let us down Liverpool came here
hoping to walk the line and if you'll
excuse the Nashville Nashville influence
uh they were engulfed in a second half
