Liverpool’s high defensive line always means that one mistake could be fatal if a pacey striker gets in behind, so alarm bells were ringing when Rhys Williams failed to cut out a through ball to Marcus Rashford.
The Man United striker still has plenty to do, but he does just enough to get it past Alisson and United find themselves 2-1 up.
