Adam Lallana rescued a late point for Liverpool to maintain Jurgen Klopp’s leaders unbeaten from the Premier League – but their streak of 17 consecutive league successes comes to a finish.
It had looked like the match would be decided in the favour of United with two referee calls that were video.
Marcus Rashford put United ahead from Daniel James’ superb cross, although Liverpool were mad since they believed Victor Lindelof fouled Divock Origi in the build-up. The VAR team decided in not committing a free-kick a clear and obvious mistake had not been made by Martin Atkinson – and that the goal came.
Sadio Mane thought he had pulled level just before the break before finishing beyond David de Gea, as he raced past Lindelof. But the VAR properly ruled it out and also spotted that Mane had handled the ball before scoring.
The Reds were short of the best but rescue their unbeaten record and then replacement Lallana ran in supporting Ashley Young to convert the cross of Andrew Robertson.
Despite falling points about 3 March liverpool are six points.
It is a match excluding fines in most contests, without a win for United.
Full report to follow.
