Man Utd 1-1 Liverpool: Reds' 100% record spoiled despite late Lallana equaliser

Adam Lallana nets late equaliser off the bench to cancel out Marcus Rashford's opener but Reds' 100% Premier League record is still spoiled by their derby rivals.

Match Report

League leaders Liverpool needed a late Adam Lallana equaliser to avoid defeat against rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's beleaguered side took the lead through Marcus Rashford's controversial opener, with Liverpool claiming Divock Origi was fouled prior to a rapid United break.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp cut an incensed figure on the touchline and his mood hardly improved when Sadio Mane had an equaliser disallowed following a VAR check for handball but, in the absence of the injured Mohamed Salah, his side lacked their usual fluency in attack.

United defended doggedly to hang on to their lead, yet their hard work was undone when they allowed substitute Lallana to tap home Andy Robertson's low cross in the 85th minute.
