Liverpool played out a 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford, with Mohamed Salah’s late penalty ensuring the visitors gained a point from Sunday’s Premier League clash.

A dominant first half from the Reds saw them go in a goal to the good at the break thanks to Luis Diaz’s close-range finish, but United were ahead by the midway point of the second period through Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo.

Jurgen Klopp’s side kept going, however, and claimed a draw when Salah calmly rolled home an 84th-minute spot-kick after Harvey Elliott had been brought down in the area. The result means Liverpool remain second in the table, behind leaders Arsenal on goal difference and one point above third-placed Manchester City.

As the rain teemed down in Manchester, the home crowd thought their side had raced into an early lead when Alejandro Garnacho got in behind and finished, but the offside flag was up.

Thereafter, though, the half belonged to Liverpool, who had created several promising opportunities prior to Diaz finally making the breakthrough in the 23rd minute.

Robertson’s outswinging corner was glanced on by Darwin Nunez and Diaz was there, unmarked at the back post to divert the ball home from six yards.
