Manchester United vs Liverpool LIVE!
Mohamed Salah scored an 84th-minute penalty to salvage a 2-2 draw for Liverpool at Man Utd in the Premier League on Sunday.
The title challengers had looked like suffering a first defeat in the league since February after two stunning goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo put United ahead at Old Trafford.
Luis Diaz had put a dominant Liverpool in front in the first half, but Jurgen Klopp’s team trailed in the final 10 minutes of regulation time until Aaron Wan-Bissaka brought down substitute Harvey Elliott in the box.
With boos ringing around the stadium, Salah calmly sent United goalkeeper Andre Onana the wrong way to move Liverpool level on points with first-place Arsenal and one ahead of Manchester City in third.

Liverpool relinquished the lead of the Premier League title race after a derby draw with Manchester United that left them with a lingering sense of deja vu.
Only three weeks after being knocked out of the FA Cup at Old Trafford, in a game which they largely dominated, Jurgen Klopp’s men once again failed to pass the chaotic test of overcoming Erik ten Hag’s ragtag bunch.
Luis Diaz put the Reds ahead at the break before Bruno Fernandes took advantage of an error to score from 40 yards. United then led through Kobbie Mainoo’s sweet strike yet Mohamed Salah rescued Liverpool a point from the spot.
Recap the action with our match report!
Jurgen Klopp insisted it was not a case of two points dropped after Liverpool were held to a chaotic derby draw with Manchester United.
Read the full story!
“We should have won, that’s clear. But we caused problems ourselves. They had no shots in the first half so 1-0 is the lowest of possible results.
“The stadium’s coming and we needed a few minutes to settle then they score another screamer. Wonderful goal.
“We had big chances before and after they scored. That’s now the situation. It’s a point at Manchester United, I know people see it as two points lost.
“I see it as we have a point more than we had before the game. It’s an away game at Manchester United, I think for us this game is more special than for other teams because against us they put an extra shift in. That’s how it is.
“We’ll face that again in a week at Everton, these are the games we have to be ready for. We fully deserved the equaliser, that’s it.”
“Disappointed to be honest, second half we performed really well and picked it up. Minor mistakes, iron them out and we win the game.
“It’s an unbeatable feeling, first professional Old Trafford goal, but without the three points I can’t be too happy. It felt good so got a bit ahead of myself [with the celebration]!
“Little mistakes happen in games but they can be detrimental and they’ve cost us. They’re a very good side, it takes it out of you but you have to bounce back.
“Again [for the first goal], details. As a team we have our jobs but he’s pulled away in space, so…”
