    While the win allowed Liverpool to consolidate the top spot, 16 points (and a match) clear of defending champions Manchester City, United continued to lurk on the fifth spot, 30 points behind Liverpool.

    Here, we present the match report.

  • United were off to a bright start, with Nemanja Matic and Daniel James working together to come up with a chance in the fifth minute.

    However, nine minutes later, a corner kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold allowed Virgil van Dijk to easily whip past a header into the goal, as the latter was left unmarked by the United defense.

    It was followed by another promising chance from the hosts in the 45th minute, as Sadio Mane was clear to fire a shot in.

    However, de Gea kept it quiet until the half-time.

    United, too, came with a couple of promising ones through Fred and Anthony Martial, in the 57th and 59th minute, only for it to go pegging.
