Last night's final scoreline was 2-2; Liverpool's form in the last half of the season, and the current position of the two teams in the Premier League table, should have ended the match with a sigh of satisfaction for Manchester United.
The match was threatened by snowfall and heavy rain the night before the game. Then the match started on a very dry field. However, the pitch was slow and wet. Both teams, however, ignored this adversity with their performances.
Liverpool attacked more at the beginning. Several attempts by Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah failed at this time. Meanwhile, United were focusing their main attack on the left, where Bruno Fernandes, Diego Dalot and Rasmus Heilund were finding a lot of space behind Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, neither team scored in the first half.
Liverpool equalised seven minutes later through Gakpo. The Dutch forward took advantage of a mistake by Matthijs de Ligt to score.
De Ligt made a second mistake shortly after. Alexis McAllister headed in Alexander-Arnold's cross, which the Dutch defender touched. The referee, after looking at VAR, awarded a penalty.
That idea was proven wrong a short time later. United fought back again. After receiving the ball from a pass from Bruno Fernandes, Alexandre Garnacho made a great cross,
but Maguire's shot went far over the crossbar. As a result, two of the most reviled United stars of recent times were no longer reviled. United also did not get to win.
