A severe snowstorm in Liverpool before the match made it uncertain whether any football would be played at Anfield at all.

But the match was played – an eventful one – when the two rivals drew.

Lisandro Martínez slammed in a real cannon with his left foot in the 52nd minute and wildly celebrated with the away fans.

A welcome dream goal for a crisis-ridden United – but the joy was short-lived.

Cody Gakpo turned past a defender and beautifully scored 1–1 in the far corner in the 59th minute. And from the penalty spot, Mohamed Salah scored Liverpool's 2–1 in the 70th.

Manchester United came back and saved a point thanks to Amad Diallo's 2–2 in the 80th.

In the seventh and final added minute, a great opportunity arose to snatch a three-pointer for Manchester, but centre-back Harry Maguire showed that he is not known as a great goal-scorer and shot over with his shin.

Liverpool tops the table with 46 points after 19 matches, six points ahead of Arsenal who have played 20.

For United, the point meant a small climb up the table – from 14th to 13th place.
