45'HT: Manchester United 2 - 0 Liverpool!! Well the visitors are dominating every other stat bar the one that counts. Two goals from Marcus Rashford in 10 minutes has given Jose Mourinho's side a great advantage going into the break. Liverpool are struggling to find gaps in United's defence and are lacking that clinical edge up front.

24'GOAL!! RASHFORD AGAIN! It's comical for Liverpool. Route-one again from De Gea is worked through to a rushing Rashford who shows no hesitation when shooting. It takes an important deflection off the leg of Alexander-Arnold and goes over Karius and into the back of the net. 2-0!
