Manchester United 2 - 1 Liverpool - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 5.0
Had an early scare, with the post coming to his aid. Could do little for the opening goal as United pulled the Reds backline apart. A great fingertip stop from Eriksen’s free kick stopped the home side doubling their lead. The second...
I’ve just watched Manchester City draw away to Newcastle, after seeing Leeds take a beleaguered Chelsea apart.

Two games, two draws, four points dropped.
