van

MANCHESTER UNITED: Lindegaard, Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Carrick, Giggs, Valencia, Kagawa, Nani, Van Persie; Subs: De Gea Anderson, Hernandez, Welbeck, Scholes, Cleverley, Buttner.

 

LIVERPOOL: Reina, Kelly, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Allen, Gerrard, Shelvey, Borini, Sterling, Suarez; Subs: Jones, Enrique, Sahin, Assaidi, Henderson, Carragher, Suso. 

And we're underway at Anfield, with Liverpool in possession.

 

  "You'll Never Walk Alone" resonates around the ground now as the Liverpool fans form three huge mosaics saying "Justice", "The Truth" and "96".

  Sir Bobby Charlton hands a floral tribute of 96 roses to Liverpool legend Ian Rush, while the two captains release the balloons. "Justice for the 96" rings around Anfield. A very fitting, very emotional tribute.

  Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra, thankfully, shake hands.

  The players are in the tunnel; the Liverpool players all wearing the number 96 on the back of their jackets. They'll be emerging shortly and we're not far from kick-off now. 

90′ +5

Kelly can't continue and goes straight down the tunnel, meaning Liverpool will have to play with just nine men as they've used all three substitutions.

90′ +3

Martin Kelly produces some good skill to get away from two United players, but then goes down in a heap clutching his knee. Doesn't look good for the Reds defender, here.

90′ +2

United are playing keep-ball now, and Liverpool are running around tirelessly to get hold of it. The visitors are holding firm here though, and Scholes draws a free-kick.

90′

The ball is worked to van Persie in the box, and the goalscorer shows some fine skill to hold it up and win a corner. United have the ball exactly where they want it as the fourth official holds up the board, and we have five minutes of stoppage time.

 

89′

Substitution Rafael Danny Welbeck

89′

Martin Kelly catches Patrice Evra out wide and United have a free-kick inside the Liverpool half. Unsurprisingly, the visitors take their time over it and slow things down by bringing on Danny Welbeck for Rafael.

87′

The home supporters are clearly frustrated, berating the referee after he awards United a throw-in on the halfway line. Liverpool have only a few minutes to avoid defeat here.

85′

Van Persie earns a booking for a challenge on Suso, before Rafael hobbles off injured and Liverpool have a corner. It's 10 versus 10 on the pitch for now, but Suso's corner is a disappointing one and United clear.

 

84′

Yellow Card Robin van Persie

 

81′

Substitution Shinji Kagawa Chicharito

 

81′

Penalty Goal Robin van Persie
GOAL! Van Persie puts United in front from the spot, firing it to the right. Reina gets a hand to it put the power sees it go in and the visitors have the lead.

 

80′

Substitution Daniel Agger Jamie Carragher

79′

Jamie Carragher strips off and is poised to come on for the stricken Agger, who is nursing his left leg.

 

77′

Yellow Card José Reina Paez

77′

Reina is booked for dissent whil Daniel Agger is receiving treatment after getting injured in the initial mix-up that gave Valencia the ball.

76′

PENALTY! Valencia poaches the ball in midfield and drives into the box. Glen Johnson makes a challenge, missing the ball and the referee believes there was contact and points to the spot

75′

Kagawa surrenders possession and Liverpool work it towards Kelly. The defender fires in a cross but Ferdinand is there to head away.

74′

Joe Allen wins a free-kick in midfield for Liverpool, and Gerrard plays it into the danger area but United clear comfortably. Is this match setting up for a late winner?

72′

Rio Ferdinand shanks a pass and pulls up, signalling to the bench that he's suffering from cramp. The United defender clearly not comfortable after that knock in the first half.

71′

It's a steadier pace at Anfield now, with the possession much more evenly balance. United push forward in numbers but can't fashion a chance through van Persie and the hosts launch it clear.

69′

Henderson settles in quickly and does well to dispossess Rafael in midfield. Gerrard spreads a beautiful pass out to Kelly and the ball is worked to Suarez, who takes it first time and fires across goal from a tight angle, but it goes all the way out for a throw-in.

67′

Liverpool clearly looking to shore up the midfield with that change, as United press forward again. Valencia looks to find Kagawa in the box but overhits the pass and it's a goal kick for the hosts.

 

66′

Substitution Raheem Sterling Jordan Henderson

65′

Gerrard slots a beautiful pinpoint pass towards Suarez on the byline, and the Uruguayan lays back to substitute Suso who fires a rasping shot at goal which Lindegaard turns behind with a fingertip save.

63′

Carrick nearly finds van Persie at the far post, but Kelly manages to clear for a corner. The hosts clear the danger but United are still in possession and Carrick whips it in again towards van Persie, who does well to meet the ball but can only head it over.

61′

Great save! Suarez fires a low shot from 20 yards which is sneaking inside the far post, but Lindegaard gets down superbly to palm it away with his right hand. Quality stuff from both players.

60′

This is now the sixth Premier League meeting in a row between Liverpool and Manchester United in which both teams have scored, and I have a feeling the scoring isn't over yet...

 

58′

Yellow Card Paul Scholes

58′

A classic Paul Scholes challenge earns the veteran midfielder a booking after he brings down Sterling. It's hotting up down there on the pitch now.

57′

Furious cries from the Kop as Johnson goes down on the left under a Rafael challenge. The referee then has to make two quick decisions as Suarez is on the end of an Evans challenge before Sterling is challenged strongly. Appeals once again waved away by the referee.

55′

Van Persie goes down in the box but Mark Halsey is completely uninterested. The Dutchman is then felled further out and the visitors retain possession from the free-kick.

54′

Wow, what a breathless opening to the second half! Back to square one again then. Sterling is in plenty of space in the box and fails to fins Suarez with a lofted pass. Gerrard then shoots from long range but it's straight at Lindegaard.

 

51′

Assist Shinji Kagawa

 

51′

Goal Rafael
GOAL! United level it within minutes, and what a cracker it is as well. Rafael has the ball inside the box, cuts inside and bends a beautiful left-footed strike in off the far post as a helpless Pepe Reina can only watch.

50′

United press forward in search of an equaliser straight away. Substitute Paul Scholes is straight into the action, trying to find space on the edge of the box before spreading to van Persie, but the striker's cross doesn't find a team-mate and Liverpool clear.

 48′

David Lynch has more musings from the stands: "Cat firmly amongst pigeons. 10-man Liverpool lead through a fine controlled left-footed drive into the bottom corner from Gerrard after a touch on his chest. The captain points to the sky after his goal, no doubt in tribute to Jon-Paul Gilhooley, the youngest of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster and the Huyton-born midfielder's cousin."

 

46′

Substitution Fabio Borini Suso

 

46′

Assist Glen Johnson

 

46′

Substitution Nani Paul Scholes

 

46′

Goal Steven Gerrard
GOAL! And it's the captain who fires the hosts in front. Glen Johnson works hard on the edge of the box and the ball falls into the path of the Reds skipper, who fires a left-footed volley into the net to send the Kop into raptures.

 46′

We're back underway at Anfield. 

 FULL-TIME at Anfield and Manchester United take all three points thanks to that Robin van Persie penalty. Liverpool, meanwhile, are still without a win in five Premier League matches.
