18:59
Zlatan Ibrahimovic helps United salvage a draw with his late header.
The high action derby witnessed a not so high scoring game as both teams' defence held each other. Jurgen Klopp after the match said that United frustrated their defence with "long ball" tactics.
United had the first opportunity of the game when Martial floated a cross in and Zlatan failed to connect his head with the ball.
The world's most expensive player, Pogba failed a glorious opportunity when Mkhitaryan fed him a through ball which he should've finished without any problem was shot wide.
Pogba gifted Liverpool a penalty by sticking his hand out in an attempt to clear the ball and James Milner made no mistake in smashing it into the net, inches away from De Gea.
Simon Mignolet saved a free-kick from Zlatan Ibrahimovic sharply in the 33rd minute and kept the Liverpool lead alive.
Martial missed a great chance for the equaliser when he failed to connect with a cross from Mkhitaryan in the 54th minute.
De Gea denied Liverpool's Adam Lallana in a 1v1 save and kept the home fans on the edge of their seat.
Fellaini was close giving United the equaliser when he failed to connect with Rooney's cross properly. But seconds later United silenced the away fans when Ibrahimovic headed low from a cross from Valencia.
