End of 2nd Half
90+5'
FT: Man United 1-1 Liverpool. Ibrahimovic's late header saves United's unbeaten run and dents Liverpool's title hopes after James Milner's penalty had put them in front. The Merseysiders fail to move back to second and are now third, seven points adrift of leaders Chelsea. Paul Pogba will sigh with relief after his crazy hand ball had given the visitors the initiative.
90+4'
Fellaini wins the header and Mata flicks on but Mignolet claims.
90+3'
Free kick to United. One last chance to pump it into the danger zone...

Liverpool work a great chance, shifting to the overlapping man in the shape of Wijnaldum who can only strike a tame effort straight at De Gea.

A point won't really suit either team. Liverpool showing they still want to win this.

Liverpool counter. Wijnaldum picks up a miscued defensive header on the left of the box but doesn't do enough with his shot. The resulting corner comes to nothing.
85'
United's unbeaten run could yet stay alive...The hosts have their tails up now. Can they win it?
84'
GOAL!!!! United are level. Zlatan heads home Valencia's dinked cross after Fellaini's initial header had hit the post.

Can Lovren and co keep United at bay?
83'
SAVE! Mignolet denies Rooney's volley from eight yards out. The flag was up so it wouldn't have counted, but Mignolet didn't know that.
82'
Jones heads a free kick from the left clear. Liverpool with some good possession at an important point in the match. United desperate to build some momentum.
81'
Coutinho buying some time for Liverpool as he wins a couple of free kicks in quick succession. A real plus for the Reds to have him back.
80'
You sense United have at least one good chance left in them. Liverpool can't afford to just drop off, they need to maintain a threat on the break.
78'
United set to launch it in the latter stages it seems...

A flowing counter attack from Liverpool. Pogba is caught in possession once more and Wijnaldum arrives late to head over from a right-wing cross. He had time to take that down and line up a shot too.
