74 min: Philippe Coutinho has an opportunity to put this tie to bed after a lovely drag-back by Emre Can takes United's defence out of the game. His shot, however, falls straight into De Gea's hands.
78 min: It's beginning to feel like the first leg all over again. Coutinho pops another effort at goal, from just outisde the box, but De Gea rescues his side, tipping over.
FULL-TIME: Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool (agg: 1-3)
Apologies for the technical gremlins affecting the coverage tonight but, truth be told, there wasn't much to report in the final stages.
Liverpool gradually took hold and saw the tie out. Manchester United's lack of invention in the final third consigned them to defeat but, in all honesty, once Philippe Coutinho's wonderful goal had gone in, it seemed game over.
