Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Manchester United FC and Liverpool FC is underway.
- 5' Marcus Rashford needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 24 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' Liverpool FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Harvey Elliott suffering a number of foals already.
- 16' The England left winger Jadon Sancho breaks the deadlock on 16 minutes. 1-0!
- 21' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 24' The referee calls foul for Trent Alexander-Arnold. He receives a Yellow card.
- 27' Manchester United FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 32' Manchester United FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Liverpool FC backline.
- 37' Bruno Fernandes has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 77 cards already picked up this season.
- 42' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 42 minutes.
- 45' The referee has no hesitation. Diogo Dalot is booked for Manchester United FC — Yellow card on 45.
- 46' A tactical swap from Manchester United FC — Anthony Martial on, Anthony Elanga off on 46 minutes.
- 51' It looks surprising Liverpool FC does not make any changes. Mohamed Salah has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 53' A goal from the England international Marcus Rashford! He fires home on 53 to make it 2-0!
- 58' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 59' Fabinho is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jordan Henderson at the 59 minute mark.
- 64' Liverpool FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 69' Liverpool FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 69.
- 71' A change in the Manchester United FC ranks — Jadon Sancho exits the field as Fred enters on 71.

- 74' Manchester United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 74.
- 79' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 82' What composure from Mohamed Salah! The Egypt international strokes it home. 2-1.
- 85' The Liverpool FC manager makes a substitution. Andrew Robertson departs to be replaced by Kostas Tsimikas.
