However, Liverpool squandered the potential to reclaim the Premier League’s top rank by failing to capitalise on their whole dominance in the first half.

Mo Salah scored from 12 yards to earn a point against Liverpool.

However, the 2-2 draw left Liverpool trailing Arsenal in the title race.

Here’s how the team did on paper.

Liverpool dominated the first half, but Manchester United came back in the second. Jurgen Klopp’s side is now trailing Arsenal on goal differential and only one point clear of third-placed Manchester City following another tense meeting against their rivals. It might be a group of one, a group of two, a group of three, or a group of four.

After Luis Diaz put Liverpool ahead, Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo scored fantastic goals to turn a one-sided match around. 

Fernandes’ equaliser came as a result of a dreadful mistake by young Liverpool centre-back Jarrell Quansah, which could be remembered as this season’s ‘Demba Ba moment’. 

Because Liverpool had surpassed United up until that time and appeared to be on their way back to the top.

Salah, on the other hand, leveled from the spot after Aaron Wan-Bissaka gave away a penalty in the 84th minute, as United squandered a third-straight lead. 

This was almost as impressive as United’s amazing 4-3 FA Cup win over Liverpool three weeks ago.

And, as Erik ten Hag faces the sack at Old Trafford, he has done much to damage Klopp’s farewell tour, sabotaging the German’s quadruple dream and now jeopardizing his bid for a treble.  

It was difficult to determine which drama would have been on United’s mind: the chaos of Thursday’s late collapse at Chelsea or the euphoria of their FA Cup victory over Liverpool barely three weeks before.

This encounter began in the same way as the FA Cup classic: end-to-end, wide open, and with the volume turned up at Old Trafford. 

Rasmus Hojlund had the ball in Liverpool’s net in the second minute, but when Bruno Fernandes took up the pass, the Dane appeared to be offside. 

Liverpool, on the other hand, swiftly took the lead, with Dominik Szoboszlai coming near three times before Diaz scored.

The Hungarian was put clear through but was denied by a smart save from Andre Onana, before pinging a long-ranger just over and scuffing a shot over from a low Andy Robertson centre. 

Following the chaos of the Cup quarter-final, this was textbook stuff: Liverpool proving their superiority and outperforming United.

The initial goal came midway through the first half, off a corner that Liverpool took expertly but United failed to defend. 

Robertson delivered the ball to Nunez, who beat Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro with a header to the far post, where an unmarked Diaz volleyed into the ground and passed Onana. 

Klopp’s team was hungry for a second goal but clumsy in their finishing.

Nunez was causing problems for Willy Kambwala, a teenager making only his second United debut due to four centre-backs out injured. 

A fast break concluded with Onana forcing a Salah effort wide, Nunez curling one over in space, and Salah shooting wide after Szoboszlai’s crossfield ball.  

It was as one-sided as Liverpool’s 5-0 win here in the latter days of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure, but the visitors were far less clinical. 

Casemiro enraged his own fans by kicking the ball out when Diaz fell down, feigning injury.

Fernandes, who frequently appears to be short on friends, appeared to be choosing phony ones with some rather impressive passes.  

Alejandro Garnacho thought he’d opened the scoring early on, but was called offside.

Marcus Rashford’s substitution increased Manchester United’s injury fears.

Andre Onana was once again the target of numerous shots.

At halftime, the shot count was 15-0, which jumped to 17-0 when United equalized in an odd Alice-in-Wonderland plot twist. 

Quansah’s attempted square cross to Virgil Van Dijk was completely off target, but Fernandes scored a magnificent first-time finish from nearly 40 yards over Caoimhin Kelleher, who could have done better. 

The scoreline was more humiliating than gratifying for United. 

Suddenly, Old Trafford was alive with song and United was humming; Alejandro Garnacho’s attempt was deflected over, and Marcus Rashford’s cross-shot threw Kelleher into a frenzy. 

Still, Liverpool had a chance to retake the lead when they broke from a United corner and were five-on-two at one point when Diaz, who should have shot, passed for Nunez, who, as usual, missed. 

Ten Hag replaced the injured Rashford with Antony, and Klopp replaced Conor Bradley with Joe Gomez in lieu of Quansah. 

Jurgen Klopp became enraged after his team fell down 2-1.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka fouled Harvey Elliott in the box, giving Liverpool a penalty.

The incredible became the impossible as United took the lead. 

Casemiro threw an overhead pass to Mainoo, who found Garnacho. The winger passed to Wan-Bissaka, who set up Mainoo for a stunning shot into the far corner. 

It was a stunning finish from a teenager who typically plays defensive midfield.

While Liverpool had missed so many obvious opportunities, a United player manufactured a goal out of nothing. 

Soon, Onana was putting a Cruyff spin on Cody Gakpo, Garnacho was passing up a great opportunity, and a United triumph appeared to be within reach. 

Klopp was upset when Kambwalla was only booked for a powerful challenge on Gomez, despite the fact that the United player was in possession of the ball. 

Then, after Onana blocked Diaz’s shot, Salah blew a clear chance. 

Finally, the Egyptian made amends. Wan-Bissaka ran at Harvey Elliott in his own penalty area, but missed the ball, prompting Anthony Taylor to point to the spot. 

Salah sent Onana the wrong way, and Liverpool was back on track. 

Diaz wasted a golden opportunity from close range, and Antony fired straight at Kelleher in the dying moments.
