Liverpool vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Reds go top of the table

77 mins: Diogo Jota wants to make a case to start for Liverpool and almost pulls it off with a driving run through the heart of Man Utd’s defence before running into trouble when Harry Maguire sweeps across to stop him in his tracks.

74 mins: Jesse Lingard threads a pass through Liverpool’s back line in an attempt to send Anthony Elanga in behind but Alisson come bombing out of his penalty area to beat the United winger to the ball and calmly pass it into midfield for the Reds.

71 mins: Here comes Diogo Jota. He’ll get to play the final 20 minutes for Liverpool and replaces Luis Diaz who trots off with a goal and an assist to his name.

In fact, each of Liverpool’s front three - Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Luis Diaz - have a goal and an assist to their names tonight.

68 mins: Just as Man Utd seemed to be getting a foothold in the game, Sadio Mane provides the killer blow. On the counter-attack Andy Robertson drives the ball up the pitch for the Reds. He slots it to Luis Diaz on the left side of the box who then squares it into Mane. Mane shoots first time and curls the ball away from David De Gea to find the bottom corner!

63 mins: Save! There’s a nice bit of pressure exerted on the Liverpool defence as Jadon Sancho weaves his way inside from the left. He threads the ball into the box for Marcus Rashford who lays it off for Anthony Elanga to shoot. Elanga goes for goal but is closed down by Alisson who keeps out the shot with his chest. Rashford is then flagged for an offside in the build-up but the replays show that the goal would have counted if Elanga had scored. Big save from Alisson.

60 mins: Jordan Henderson is flicked on the edge of the box by Harry Maguire as Liverpool look for a way into the penalty area. There’s not much in it at all but Henderson goes down off the ball. The referee lets play go on and Diogo Dalot manages to clear the United lines.

57 mins: There’s a more even feel to the game, brought on by better pressing from Man Utd and a dip in tempo from Liverpool. The visitors flick the ball over to Jadon Sancho on the left wing and he decides to take on Trent Alexander-Arnold. He cuts inside of the defender to get into the box but Liverpool’s right-back recovers well and wins the ball with a decent tackle before Sancho can shoot.

54 mins: Victor Lindelof and Sadio Mane try to win the same aerial ball and Lindelof comes flying in on the striker from behind. He gets above Mane and seemingly wins the ball as both players go down in a heap. Liverpool want a free kick and there’s a bit of argy bargy between Thiago and Fernandes before the the referee restarts play with a drop ball.

51 mins: Thiago Alcantara moves through midfield for Liverpool shrugging off Bruno Fernandes then drawing a foul out of Anthony Elanga.

Liverpool take the free kick quickly and work the ball over to Mo Salah who has plenty of space to run into but gets giddy at the prospect and miscontrols the ball on his way towards the box.

48 mins: Anthony Elanga gets United forward down the right side and wins a corner after Andy Robertson tracks back to block the cross behind. Bruno Fernandes swings in the set piece for the visitors but Thiago is up to nod it clear.
