Monday’s briefing: Man Utd show some fight at Anfield before Wolves face Forest

Manchester United salvaged some pride with a battling 2-2 draw against Premier League leaders Liverpool in a pulsating clash on Sunday afternoon at Anfield. Earlier at Craven Cottage, Raul Jimenez slotted in two penalties during the second half as Fulham fought back to draw 2-2 with relegation battlers Ipswich.
Elsewhere, Celtic bounced back from their Old Firm humbling by beating St Mirren 3-0, extending their lead at the top of the table after Rangers had been held to a 3-3 draw at Hibernian. Red Devils finally show some fight. Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim got the battling display he had been calling for as his side fought out a 2-2 draw at Premier League leaders Liverpool.
Arne Slot’s side were 10 minutes away from going eight points clear of Arsenal with a match in hand after Cody Gakpo and a penalty from Mohamed Salah had turned things around following United taking the lead in the second half through Lisandro Martinez.
Amad Diallo, though, stabbed home Alejandro Garnacho’s cross late on to earn United a deserved point – which could have been more had defender Harry Maguire hit the target instead of firing over from close range in stoppage time. “We were a different team, not because of the system, not because of the technical aspects or tactical aspects of the game (but because) we faced the competition in the way that we are supposed to face every day, training and match,” Amorim said.
