Manchester United earned a dramatic point against Premier League leaders Liverpool after a thrilling 2-2 draw at Anfield. Ruben Amorim' side were much improved against their arch rivals and grabbed a deserved lead seven minutes after the interval through Lisandro Martinez.

But the Reds hit back with goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah from the spot, which looked to have sent Arne Slot's side eight points clear of the table. But Amad Diallo would provide a sting in the tail, with a well-taken finish past Alisson that sent the away supporters into raptures.

LIVERPOOL (4-2-3-1). Alisson - 6.5. Did not face a single shot on target at West Ham on Sunday, or after the sixth minute against Leicester on Boxing Day – but finally had some work to do at the end of the first half here and strongly denied Hojlund. Could do little about United’s goals.
