Liverpool climb to fifth and are now just four points behind Chelsea with a game in hand on Tuchel’s side. United are still second, but haven’t confirmed their place as runners-up yet.

That’s it! Rashford puts a last-minute chance wide but it wouldn’t have changed the outcome anyway. It’s a big win for Liverpool, who keep their top four hopes alive with victory in this historic fixture.

Salah makes way having secured the three points. Neco Williams replaces him.

There were relieved shouts of joy from the Liverpool bench when that went in. The top four race isn’t done yet.

Game over! United probe, searching for an equaliser, but they lose possession and Liverpool break. Salah is sent clean through and has far too much pace for the trailing United defenders. He makes his way into the box and plants his finish into the bottom left corner, with Henderson rooted to his line.

Cavani attempts to chest a cross from Wan-Bissaka into Greenwood’s path. But the striker is penalised for handball as Greenwood’s shot trickles wide.

Cavani goes into the book for a late challenge on Thiago.

Solskjaer turns to experience: Matic replaces Bailly.

Liverpool squander a counter attack as Salah races forward and finds Firmino to his right. The latter’s cross is poor and floats out for a goal kick.

The momentum United generated after the goal has died down a little, but the game is hardly done. It feels like the calm before a frantic final few minutes.

Liverpool’s players are left bemused as Mane looks to break into the box but is dragged down by McTominay. The referee ignores it and the midfielder gets away with it. That may well have been a second yellow card had a foul been given.
