Three weeks on from Erik ten Hag’s men edging an FA Cup classic at the end of extra-time, this age-old rivalry resumed in a similarly chaotic clash in the Premier League on Sunday.
Luis Diaz put dominant Liverpool into a deserved half-time lead against stumbling United, only for Bruno Fernandes’s 45-yard jaw-dropper and a magnificent Kobbie Mainoo effort to turn the match on its head.
Salah levelled with a late penalty after Aaron Wan-Bissaka brought down Harvey Elliott, but the Reds could not eke out a winner as Ten Hag’s men successfully put a spanner in their old foes’ title charge.

Work to do for United
The Red Devils had Garnacho’s early effort ruled out for offside and subsequently failed to register a shot on goal for the rest of the half.
It’s only the second time United have failed to have a shot in the first half of a Premier League match at Old Trafford since Opta’s data began (03/04).

One-way traffic so far.
HALF-TIME: Manchester United 0-1 Liverpool
The half-time whistle goes as Jurgen Klopp jogs down the tunnel. His side have a deserved lead at the break and perhaps will rue not finding a second given their dominance.
Much to ponder for Erik ten Hag.
Manchester United 0-1 Liverpool
45+2 mins: Will Liverpool come to regret these wasted chances? Bradley has the latest effort after he’s slid through by Szoboszlai but the right-back’s shot is blocked by Wan Bissaka’s last-ditch slide.
Manchester United 0-1 Liverpool
45 mins: Nunez and Diaz combine to great effect, with Diaz sneaking behind Dalot and forcing a good save from Onana at his near post.
The offside flag goes up, though, so it wouldn’t have counted.
