Amad Diallo scored a dramatic late equaliser as Manchester United fought back to secure a 2-2 draw with league leaders Liverpool in a pulsating clash at Anfield on Sunday.
United had taken a surprise lead in the 52nd minute through Lisandro Martinez, who powered home a fierce shot from a tight angle.
Softfootball understands Liverpool responded quickly, with Cody Gakpo curling home a stunning equaliser before Mohamed Salah converted from the penalty spot to put the hosts ahead.
Diallo’s leveller set up a frantic finale, with both sides creating late chances to snatch a winner, though neither could find a breakthrough. Ruben Amorim’s side defended resolutely throughout and looked genuinely threatening on the counter-attack, ultimately earning a well-deserved point on the road.
The result lifts United up to 13th in the Premier League table, offering some much-needed momentum following a difficult recent run. Liverpool, meanwhile, move six points clear at the top of the standings, though they will view the dropped points as a missed opportunity given their game in hand.
