A blockbuster game from Liverpool and Manchester United means they share the point and Liverpool go 6 points ahead in the title race.
Going into the game Liverpool sat top of the league by five points with two games in hand and a big opportunity to extend their lead as title rivals Arsenal and Chelsea would both drop points on the weekend.
However the first half of the game would be poor from the Reds as the Red Devils would play better throughout the half despite there poor form of recent.
Manchester United would defend well in the first half only allowing one chance from Alexis Mac Allister which was saved and Rasmus Hojlund had an opportunity of his own to take the lead but Allison Becker was there to stop it.
The second half would be the same as Man United would put pressure on the right hand side of the Liverpool defence and would be rewarded when Bruno Fernandes found Lisandro Martinez who would smash it into the roof of the net and give his team a 1-0 lead in the 52nd minute.
Despite Man United being the better side Liverpool found an instant way back with Cody Gakpo who would catch the Man United back line and put one into the top corner making the game 1-1 in the 59th minute.
It would go from bad to worse for the Red Devils as Mac Allister's header would hit Matthijs De Ligt on the arm and after a VAR check the referee would determine it was a penalty for Liverpool, where Mohamed Salah would tuck it away to give his side the lead in the 70th minute.
But the goals did not end there as Manchester United would find a way back with a ball from Alejandro Garnacho into the box would find Amad Diallo who would slot it past the Liverpool keeper in the 80th minute.
With the final kick of the game Joshua Zirkzee would square the ball to Harry Maguire for a massive opportunity but it was struck over the ball and the game would end 2-2.

Liverpool Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 7
Could not do anything about the goals and other than those he made a good one on one save and claimed crosses well as Man United were attacking him every time they got one.
The right back had his worst performance in a Liverpool shirt all season while Real Madrid watch on, he could not make a pass all game and Diogo Dalot ran him up and down the wing all night and the Englishman could not deal with him one bit.
Ibrahima Konate - 4
Had a really poor time today back from his injury and most of the play the success that Man United had was down his and Alexnader-Arnold's way and they could not deal with it.
Also gave the ball away at times when they was little to no pressure on him.
A shinning light in a really poor defensive display and had to cover a lot to get ball and the only way that Man United scored was going round him as he was sweeping everything up that went near him.
Andrew Robertson - 5
Another Liverpool defender who did not have the greatest of game and make mistakes through out the game giving away silly fouls but most of the play was down the other side of the pitch so did not have to face too much.
Ryan Gravenberch - 7
Showed really good pieces of play throughout the game and was impressive in an overall poor performance from the team.
Was the clear man of the match for Liverpool today getting an assist and also his overall play was magnificent especially when all of his teammates were palying so poorly in the first half.
Could have scored as well if it was not for a good save from the Man United keeper just a stand out performance from the Argentine.
Curtis Jones - 4
I think you could have watched the game today and thought he was not playing because he had no part in it at all and was played of the park by Kobbie Mainoo and probably his worst performance if the season in which he has been so good.
Mohamed Salah - 6
Scored the penalty but other than that his end product was quite poor and he never really controlled the game like he has done in recent games but still scored none the less.
Cody Gakpo - 7
Was not in the game much at all but the goal alone was a bit of magic and he fully deserved to not get subbed due to the goal because it brought Liverpool back into the game.
Was not in the game at all and had a chance in the first half that he absolutely skied that could have been scored but overall just not involved.

Liverpool Substitutes
Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota - 6
Came on in the 60th minute but never really got into the game and could not create themselves a chance or get on the end of one.
Harvey Elliott, Conor Bradley - 6
Were on for 10 minutes at the end of the game and did not really have anything to do but Bradley made a really good chance for himself.
