Bobby with a sweet goal. Whole united team surround the ref for VAR (The Guardian) GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United (Firmino, 25 mins)United are furious! They think Van Dijk fouled De Gea in the build-up, and VAR will have a look. NO GOAL! Still Liverpool 1-0 Manchester UnitedGary Neville is furious about this, insisting Van Dijk’s challenge was fair. Both players jumped, the Dutchman getting high enough to stop De Gea catching. The ball rolled left, was played back to Firmino, whose curling finish was fabulous. Apparently the VAR decided Van Dijk made no attempt to play the ball, but it would have landed on his head if De Gea hadn’t reached over it to flap it nowhere much.

*re-reads the no-goal blurb* Is it just me, Ste_Macca, or did Gary Neville think that should've been a goal by Firmino there?

(The Guardian) 28 mins: After a promising start, United are wobbling like Weebles. Firmino tries to play through to Salah, but it’s just about intercepted.

(BBC Sport) David de Gea - the ringleader of the aggressive United protests to referee Craig Pawson - was booked for his rage before the goal was ruled out.Ridiculous considering the technology was always going to look at it and he got what he wanted in the end.

(The Guardian) 34 mins: United are experimenting with different methods of losing the ball on the edge of their own area.

(The Guardian) 36 mins: Liverpool have the ball in the net again, but this time the linesman’s got a flag up! It’s a fabulous through-ball from Oxlade-Chamberlain to Wijnaldum, who nudges it past De Gea, but he was six inches offside.

(The Guardian) 37 mins: This is your traditional hurly-burly, wild and error-strewn old-fashioned English top-flight fare. Wijnaldum is playing excellently, having been pretty much immune so far.

(The Guardian) 41 mins: Chance for United! Martial curls an excellent cross to Wan-Bissaka, who half-volleys across to Pereira, who just needs to touch it in at the far post but can’t quite reach it!
“The reaction of the United players following what seemed a perfectly legit challenge by van Dijk was an unwelcome reminder of the days of Roy Keane,” fumes Tony Wawryk. “Players shouting in the ref’s face, pointing, manhandling - they lost their heads. Half the team should have been booked and de Gea sent off. Shocking behaviour.” ...no argument from either Webster or Ste_Macca from up here in the press gantry, sir...

(The Guardian) 43 mins: Robertson boots the ball upfield, and with Salah lurking behind him Shaw raises his right foot, volleys gently over his shoulder, spins and is away. One for the showreel there.
44 mins: Pereira shoots from 25 yards, and Allison catches.

(The Guardian) 45 mins: Chance! United’s defence falls apart like so much sodden toilet paper. Salah passes to Mane, who is in all sorts of space. It’s not a great pass, forcing Mane to stall his run and giving Lindelof a chance to recover, but he still pushes it ahead of himself and lashes a shot goalwards from just inside the area. De Gea saves with his right boot.
45+1 mins: Into stoppage time, of which there’ll be a couple more minutes. Wijnaldum passes to Mane inside the area, but his first touch takes him away from goal and again defenders get over to challenge.
