Play by play
- 93'
<b>FULL TIME</b> A great afternoon for Liverpool and another wretched one for United. A simple hat-trick for Kuyt, a spot of handbags in the middle, and a late consolation for Hernandez. United suffer back-to-back Premier League defeats for the first time in two years and the title race is officially ON.
- 92'
Slack marking from Liverpool but a neat header from Hernandez.
