da betano casino: The two midfielders scored wonder-goals, but a careless foul from the defender gave their eternal rivals a route back
da esport bet: Manchester United never expected to beat Liverpool after their week of chaos and especially not after producing one of their worst first-half performances in recent memory, having no shots on goal while conceding 15.
And yet they will be kicking themselves that they did not hold on to the win after two sensational goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo put them in front, only for a reckless Aaron Wan-Bissaka tackle to gift Mohamed Salah an equaliser from the penalty spot.
It was a miracle that Liverpool were only 1-0 up at the break even if the goal came from dire marking by United, with no one picking up Darwin Nunez or Luis Diaz, who netted on the half-volley from the Uruguayan's flick-on.
But Jarell Quansah, perhaps feeling sorry for his opponents, offered Fernandes a beautifully wrapped present in the form of a back-pass to the feet of the Portuguese, who needed just one touch to chip Caoimhin Kelleher and equalise in the 50th minute.
Mainoo scored an even better goal to put United in front, but they could not hold their nerve, and Erik ten Hag taking off the effervescent Alejandro Garnacho for Sofyan Amrabat summed up their lack of belief. Still, all things considered, many fans would have accepted a point before kick-off, especially if it means ruining Liverpool's hopes of winning a record-equalling 20th title.
GOAL rates United's players from Old Trafford…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
Andre Onana (7/10):
Made a top-drawer save from Szoboszlai early in the game and coped well with the barrage of shots he faced throughout. Also was nerveless on the ball.
Diogo Dalot (5/10):
Erratic, particularly in the first half. Steadied himself after the break.
Harry Maguire (5/10):
Hit and miss. At times looked like an accident waiting to happen; at others, was commanding and assertive, winning his duels.
Willy Kambwala (7/10):
Defended superbly, particularly given his inexperience and the occasion.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (4/10):
Struggled to hold down the left-hand side in the first half. Won most of his tackles, but crucially tripped Elliot for the penalty, gifting Liverpool a way back.

Kobbie Mainoo (8/10):
Oozed class with every touch although struggled to contain Mac Allister out of possession. Scored a ludicrously good goal, becoming United's youngest scorer against Liverpool in the Premier League.
Casemiro (3/10):
Really poor. Too slow, didn't anticipate well and his passing was atrocious.
Bruno Fernandes (5/10):
Had a very poor first half but his quick-thinking drew United level. Pushed to the left wing after Garnacho was withdrawn, and it's his weakest position.

Alejandro Garnacho (6/10):
Always the most likely source of danger so it was disheartening to see Ten Hag take him off to try and protect the lead.
Rasmus Hojlund (4/10):
Barely got involved in the game and his form post-injury is starting to be a real concern.
Marcus Rashford (5/10):
Shockingly poor in the first half, particularly defensively. Improved in the second half but then picked up a knock and had to come off.
Getty ImagesSubs & Manager
Antony (5/10):
Couldn't offer much and missed a good chance to win it at the death.
Sofyan Amrabat (N/A):
Brought on to shore up the midfield but was more of a liability than an asset.
Mason Mount (N/A):
Took one for the team by earning a booking for fouling Gakpo.
Erik ten Hag (5/10):
Would have taken a draw before kick-off but should have seen the game out. Taking off Garnacho for Amrabat was a terrible move.
