    What's the story

    Former champions Manchester United kept their composure and played smart football as they held off league leaders Liverpool 1-0 in their Premier League encounter at the Old Trafford on Sunday.

    This was Liverpool's first draw of the season in the tournament, as they still remain atop the table, while United drop down to the 13th spot.

    Here is the report of this thrilling tie.

    First quarter

    Sole attack gives a crunch start to the match

    It was expected to be a crunch encounter and both the teams didn't disappoint the fans.

    The opening quarter saw only one attack from the visitors in the 10th minute, as Roberto Firmino tried his luck from a tough angle, only to send the ball flying over the goal, into the fans, seated at the Stretford End.

    Second quarter

    An eventful quarter sees United lead at half-time

    The second quarter saw Liverpool clearing a threat in the 28th minute, while Firmino's shot went into the hands of David de Gea, six minutes later.

    It was two minutes later when Daniel James crossed the ball to Marcus Rashford, who tucked it home, while Sadio Mane equalized it in the 44th minute, only for VAR to rule it out for a hand-ball.

    Information

    Liverpool press attack following half-time

    Following the half-time, Liverpool pressed hard and went for the attack. However, the United defense was too strong to be penetrated as the visitors did come up with chances, but failed to convert the chances.

    Fourth quarter

    Two promising chances as Liverpool pull one back

    The final quarter saw Liverpool pull up their ante in the 85th minute, as Andrew Robertson set up a beautiful cross for Adam Lallana, who was left unmarked, as he tucked it past de Gea.

    The 92nd minute saw the final attack from the visitors, as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain shot through the ground at the edge of the box, only to go wide.

    Key stats

    Some key stats from the match

    Here are some key stats from the match:

    United have never lost a home league game after leading at half-time, since 1984.

    Andrew Robertson has provided the most EPL assists since the beginning of the previous season (14, joint with Trent Alexander-Arnold).

    This was the first time since 2001 when an English player has scored for both sides in an United-Liverpool EPL encounter.
