Final score

Play by play
Gary Neville says United "will be happy to get away with a point".
Gerrard admits the free-kick wasn't very good and he was lucky the wall split for his goal.
Ferdinand, on the challenge on Adam, says there wasn't enough contact for him to go down.
Gerrard says he feels Liverpool "could have nicked it", but Ferdinand says "a point seemed fair".
Superb from De Gea today. Shows why Ferguson has such faith in him because today was a big test and he came through - United have a top, top keeper on their hands (one that Benitez admitted he had monitored as a potential replacement for Reina when he was still at the club).
United go top by a point, with Liverpool into fifth.
Liverpool will be pleased to see Gerrard back and performing. Adam also looked good, but Suarez the top man for them, today. United, as ever, know they can rely on the superb Hernandez for a goal and will be happier with a point than Liverpool.
1-1 the final result. Liverpool could have won the game at the end after a superb finish but, until then, if not necessarily overall, United also deserved a point.
