It was a point - a - piece as Liverpool and Manchester United played out a goalless draw at Anfield.

The encounter watched by 57,158 spectators saw Jurgen Klopp's men dominating proceedings right from the blast of the whistle but found United's defence, a hard nut to crack.

The Red Devils were sitting deep at the back, and only waiting for the counter attack but the home team refused to give them the space for the counter attack except on few occasions that almost resulted to goal but for the agility of Alisson who thwarted United's efforts at goal.

Manchester United's shot stopper, Andre Onana was in fine form, producing an astonishing saves.

The biggest opportunity came to the Red Devils' way in the 67th minute but Alisson made good save to prevent Rasmus Hojlund's point blank shot from hitting the back of the net.

Liverpool with their dominance in the game, ought to have won the encounter but they were wasteful in front of goal, despite parading Mohammed Salah, Darwin Nunez but they all fired blank.

The Red Devils played out the final few minutes with ten men after Diogo Dalot was sent off fourth minute of the stoppage time.

The elated Erik Ten Hag praised his men for their doggedness without losing focus throughout the one sided encounter, majorly dominated by the home side.
