Liverpool missed the chance to return to the top of the Premier League table as Manchester United frustrated their rivals at Anfield to earn a battling point for under-pressure manager Erik ten Hag.

The Reds dominated possession but were sloppy on the ball in what was a poor contest, with Trent Alexander-Arnold going closest with a shot from outside the box that narrowly crept wide of the post.

United defended deep and grew in threat as the match went on, with Rasmus Hojlund forces a save from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson in the second half. Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana was far busier but wasn’t seriously tested despite a series of effort from the hosts. United’s Diogo Dalot was sent off in stoppage time for dissent towards referee Michael Oliver.

Liverpool started the weekend top but slip down to third following wins for Arsenal and Aston Villa on Sunday. United, who drew a Premier League game for the first time this season, are seventh but avoided a third straight defeat after losses against Bournemouth and Bayern Munich this week.

90+2 mins: Once again a set-piece provides a good chance for Liverpool but Gakpo - unmarked on the six-yard-box - wastes a good chance as he heads over.

Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United

90+1 mins: A yellow card for Rashford after a poor challenge on Tsimikas. We’re into the first of five minutes of added time on Merseyside.

Either side fancy scoring?

Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United

89 mins: A wildly mishit cross from Alexander-Arnold typifies the lack of quality this game has had. A hand up in apology from the Liverpool man.

Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United

87 mins: A cynical late challenge from Shaw on Konate sparks the game’s first coming together between the two sets of teams. Just a yellow, though, for the United full-back.

Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United

86 mins: Gomez surges into the box but he fires into the side-netting from a tight angle as Klopp cuts an ever-more frustrated figure on the sideline.

Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United

85 mins: The ball deflects off the ground and into the arm of Shaw, sparking furious appeals for handball from the Liverpool crowd.

Nothing doing for the ref or VAR, though. That would have been a harsh one.

Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United

84 mins: Gakpo sees his effort turned behind for a corner which United clear.

The verdict from The Independent’s Miguel Delaney inside the ground is hardly complimentary. Can this game produce one moment of quality in the closing stages?

78 mins: Here come those Liverpool changes, then. Diaz, who just had that chance, makes way alongside Nunez. Jones and Elliott on to try and make a difference in these closing stages.
