Anyway, thanks for your company - Liverpool need 30 more points to be sure of the title, but the reality is that it'll take significantly less than that. They'll deserve it, as they deserved that win today, not because they were dazzling but because they did what they needed to do.

"We're gonna win the league" sings the Anfield crowd, which tells you how over this title race is. They did it in 2009 and United pipped them, but 16 points clear is 16 points clear; you can't argue with that.

GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United (Salah) Alisson collects another aimless cross and sends a fine pass into space for Salah to chase. James goes with him, for reasons known best to himself doesn't bring him down, and Salah holds him off then slots home. He has his goal against United!
90+2'
United come again and Dalot wins another corner; De Ga goes to halfway, then gets sent back and United waste it.
90+1'
Dalot has time to measure a cross, and drills it directly onto Van Dijk's bonce.
90+1'
More United pressure,but still they can't manufacture a chance.
90'
There'll be three added minutes.
90'
The corner is cleared and Henderson breaks, Dalot doing really well to stay with him and make the challenge.
89'
Fred curls to the back post, meeting the run of lindelof, but his shove across is knocked behind by Van Dijk.
88'
Fred spreads left to Dalot, and United have a corner. They waste it by going short to Mata, but somehow finagle a free-kick off Lallana, left side, 25 yards out....

United were about to bring on Dalot for Wan-Bissaka, but Shaw goes off instead.
87'
Shaw goes down with cramp.
86'
More probing from United, but Liverpool press them and they can't find a gap.
84'
Robertson curls towards Van Dijk at the back post, but Shaw does enough to see the ball away.
84'
Matic, who's had a god second half, is late on Lallana 35 yards out, left of centre. Liverpool's two full-backs are behind the ball...
83'
Liverpool will, I think, go 4-4-2 and look to hold onto what they've got.

A double change for Liverpool, Origi and Firmino replacing Mane and Firmino.
81'
United have had two awful periods in the game, after the goal and at the start of the second half, but have been good otherwise; they've just lack composure and quality at key moments.
80'
United pop it around nicely just outside the Liverpool box, but Mata then darts a pass into it that has too much pace on it, and Alisson collects.
