Footage has emerged of the Anfield roof leaking over one stand during Liverpool's thrilling 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Sunday evening. Amad Diallo's late strike forced the Premier League leaders to settle for a share of the spoils, preventing them from increasing their gap at the top to eight points.

Lisandro Martinez had fired United into a shock lead early in the second half but the Reds soon rallied with Cody Gakpo equalising on the hour mark and Mohamed Salah slotting home a penalty after Matthijs de Ligt was penalised for handball. However, Diallo provided the final sting in the tail for the visitors after tapping in Alejandro Garnacho's cross, securing a point that will encourage Ruben Amorim.

The showdown was played out in sheets of icy rain and the stormy weather eventually took a visible toll on the venue, as shown in videos on social media. One clip posted on X showed several leaks cascading down from the top of the Anfield Road Stand, with home supporters seemingly bearing the brunt.
