Liverpool vs Manchester United

1. 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.

2. 92'

   Slack marking from Liverpool but a neat header from Hernandez.

4. 90'

   Three minutes added....

5. 89'

   Gerrard is inchies away from making it four. He was on his own on the edge of the box and the free kick came his way. He side footed it into the side netting with Van der Sar scrambling.

8. 86'

   Splendid run from Suarez who turns Evra, drives into the box past Brown but finishes wildly from an angle on his right foot.

9. 85'

   Suarez is up and hobbling off, despite his arm waving, rolling around antics.

10. 84'

    Suarez gets tackled hard by Brown and rolls around on the turf, then Gerrard fires a shot narrowly wide of the post with Van der Sar rooted.

14. 82'

    Gerrard very nearly finds Carroll then Kuyt tees up Maxi but he can't connect with the cross from 14 yards.

15. 80'

    United looking laboured now. Few chances appearing.

16. 78'

    Carroll nods back to Kuyt who volleys on the edge of the box but he can't keep it down.

17. 77'

    Liverpool fans sing Happy Birthday to Kenny. He waves in return.

21. 75'

    Good advantage played by Phil Dowd as Rooney is clipped. He lets the play go on until Hernandez's cross is cleared then gives the foul.

22. 74'

    Carroll wins his first challenge in the air and nods on goal to much acclaim from the Kop.

23. 73'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Meireles comes off after an excellent game and Carroll is on.

    Carroll is indeed coming on. Great time for your debut.

25. 71'

    Carroll gets a round of applause as he warms up on the touchline. Looks like he may be coming on.
