Liverpool are still winless in the league, which is undeserved after another good display, but they need to convert their chances when they get them.

RVP throws his shirt into the United fans, and it was his penalty, which won the three points for United. Very harsh on Liverpool, but they were struggling after Shelvey was dismissed.

Liverpool are trying to pass it out from the back, but are failing miserably as they continuously have to play it back to Reina.
