Play by play
- 95'
FULL-TIME. United 2-1 Liverpool. It was an unspectacular performance but it is the result that is all important at this stage of the season and United go top. Park's second-half diving header proved enough for Sir Alex Ferguson's side and for Liverpool it is a 10th defeat of the season as Rafa's gurantee of fourth place looks all the more difficult to achieve. Thanks for joining us and remember, we have live text commentary of Chelsea v Blackburn coming up at 1600GMT.
