On 75 minutes up stepped Kobbie Mainoo with the coolest of winners before the Stretford End to cause bedlam among home fans and wrest the bragging rights Manchester United\u2019s way.<\/p>\n
After a raid down the left Alexis Mac Allister\u2019s weak clearance rolled to the midfielder who beat Dominik Szoboszlai to punch home a finish that bested Freddie Woodman to the Liverpool<\/a> goalkeeper\u2019s right.<\/p>\n After ceding a 2-0 half-time lead this ensured a league double over the visitors for a first time in a decade. Yet zoom out, and as United and Liverpool<\/a> are not in the title race this meeting of England\u2019s heavyweights was akin to two follicly-challenged men fighting over a comb.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Kobbie Mainoo’s reaction<\/p>\n double quotation markTo turn [the season] round the way we have is credit to all the players and the manager. We want to just keep winning, winning, winning.<\/p>\n [On the first half of the season] It\u2019s difficult any time you\u2019re not playing football. I tried to keep my head down, work hard and look forward as much as possible.<\/p>\n [On Michael Carrick] He gives so much confidence to not just me but all the players. You wanna follow him, you wanna fight for him, you wanna die for him on the pitch. I feel like we showed that today.<\/p>\n I\u2019m so blessed to be in this position. I used to dream about days like this. I\u2019m glad to be here and my future\u2019s at this club.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Michael Carrick has beaten Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool<\/a> since taking over in January. That\u2019s some achievement, even if the last two wins were less than convincing.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.31 EDT<\/p>\n Full time: Man Utd 3-2 Liverpool<\/p>\n Manchester United are back in the Champions League after completing their first league double over Liverpool in a game. A wild game, shambolic at times, was settled by a serene touch of class from Kobbie Mainoo.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.30 EDT<\/p>\n 90+6 min Dalot misses a great chance, slicing wide after a four-on-three break. No matter\u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+5 min: Man Utd substitution Leny Yoro replaces Bruno Fernandes.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+5 min Szoboszlai\u2019s free-kick is headed away by Casemiro at the far post.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+4 min Dorgu fouls Jones just inside the United half, which gives Liverpool<\/a> the chance to send everyone forward.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+2 min Fernandes is up now. At the other end, Kerkez\u2019s attempted cutback deflects into the arms of Lammens.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 min Zirkzee knocks the ball down for Fernandes, who slices well wide under pressure. He has stayed down holding his ankle.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 min Kerkez concedes a needless foul on Amad, which gives United the chance to waste 30 seconds.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 min There will be five minutes of added time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min Casemiro finds Dorgu in space with a good square pass. Dorgu moves to within 20 yards of goal and then cracks a shot well wide of the far post.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 87 min: Liverpool<\/a> substitution Federico Chiesa for Ibrahima Konate, and why not.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 87 min: Man Utd substitution Joshua Zirkzeee replaces Matheus Cunha, whose early goal feels a lifetime ago.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 86 min If it stays like this \u2013 a Brobdingnagian if, even with only a few minutes to play \u2013 United will confirm Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 85 min Gakpo is booked for a foul on Casemiro.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 84 min Fernandes is furious after being accidentally flattened by the referee when he was trying to get across to challenge a Liverpool<\/a> player. Imagine if this leads to a goal!<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t: Gakpo\u2019s tame shot from distance is comfortable for Lammens.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.15 EDT<\/p>\n 82 min Ngumoha smashes a shot a few yards wide from the edge of the area. This has been a wild second half \u2013 richly entertaining, but also indicative of why these two aren\u2019t challenging for the title.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.14 EDT<\/p>\n 80 min Cunha slips Szoboszlai near the halfway line and suddenly United have a four-on-two break. Cunha eventually finds Dorgu to his left, but the pass is slightly underhit and Dorgu falls over as he tries to stumble past Jones.<\/p>\n Fernandes is then booked for a poor tackle on Szoboszlai.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Mainoo scored a beauty against Liverpool in his breakthrough season two years ago. This isn\u2019t quite in the same class but it was still a lovely finish. Shaw\u2019s cross was headed back across goal by Amad and sliced towards the edge of the D by Mac Allister. Mainoo got to the bouncing ball a split second before Szoboszlai and sidefooted a beautifully controlled finish into the corner. His anticipation and technique were immaculate.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.17 EDT<\/p>\n GOAL!

Fernandes took a free-kick on the right and put it straight on the head of Casemiro, unmarked 10 yards out. He\u2019s usually such a good finisher with his head but on this occasion he planted it straight at Woodman.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 71 min The last time Man Utd lost a league game at home after leading by one goal at half-time, never mind two, was against Ipswich in 1983-84.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 68 min: Vital save by Lammens! Szoboszlai\u2019s wicked free-kick from the right bounces across the six-yard box, ricochets towards goal (possibly off Konate) and is kicked away desperately by Lammens.<\/p>\n Liverpool look the likelier winners, something that would have been unthinkable at half-time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 66 min Including today\u2019s game, there have been 55 goals in the last 13 games between United and Liverpool<\/a>. In the 13 matches before that, there were 22.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 64 min United almost cut Liverpool<\/a> open with a simple long ball. Kerkez has to come across a long way to make an important tackle on Mbeumo.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 62 min Now it\u2019s Liverpool<\/a> who are shredding Man Utd on the break. Frimpong drives a very deep cross to Kerkez, who touches it back to Gakpo on the edge of the area. His shot deflects over the bar.<\/p>\n Jeremie Frimpong is causing all sorts of problems on the right for Liverpool.

They must wonder what the hell is going on after such a dominant first half.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 59 min: Liverpool<\/a> substitution Milos Kerkez for Andy Robertson.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 58 min Maguire\u2019s crossfield pass is controlled majestically by Fernandes on the left. He hammers an almost angry cross that is clipped over the bar by Mbeumo on the edge of the area.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n
