Manchester United 2
Fernandes 50, Mainoo 67
Liverpool 2
Díaz 23, Salah 84pen
When Jürgen Klopp looks at the Premier League table he now sees his team second, level on points with Arsenal but behind on goal difference, and one ahead of City, all three having seven games left.
For the spirit shown in the second half, United deserved a draw but Klopp and his men may come to rue allowing Erik ten Hag's erratic team to take two precious points from them.
The Dutchman has overseen seven dropped points in nine days from winning positions, following the 1-1 draw at Brentford and Thursday's 4-3 loss at Chelsea, and are in sixth place, 11 points behind Tottenham and Aston Villa in fourth and fifth, and one ahead of West Ham in the race for European football.
From the 67th minute this riveting contest took off. First, Kobbie Mainoo gave United an unlikely lead via a strike that will live long in the tale of this rivalry for the ages. Collecting the ball on the right of Liverpool's area the youngster's pirouette bamboozled two visiting players before, unsighted, he curled home, the sweetest of strikes allowing the flailing Caoimhín Kelleher no chance.
