Play by play
- 94'
United's season gets the kick-start it so badly needed, while for Liverpool, they are looking over their shoulder at the relegation places.
- 94'
<b>FULL TIME</b> Manchester United beat Liverpool courtesy of a stellar performance from Dimitar Berbatov. A great performance from the Bulgarian, and having dragged themselves back into the game, Liverpool will be devastated that they couldn't hang on.
- 93'
United free kick near the Liverpool corner flag after a Gerrard foul on Anderson. That will probably be enough.
- 92'
United are doing a great job of keeping possession and running down the clock, only two minutes remaining now...
- 91'
Liverpool launching the ball long desperately seeking a goal, it doesn't look like coming though...
- 90'
<b>FOUR MINUTES ADDED TIME</b>
- 88'
Agger has been particularly irate since he was introduced. Attempting to get on the end off a cross he shoves his marker to the ground.

- 85'
Can Liverpool find another equaliser? Anderson looks set to come on for United.
- 84'
Roy Hodgson looks utterly dejected on the bench. What a second half.
- 83'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> <b>Berbatov seals his hat-trick!</b> United regain the lead, and Berbatov puts the seal on his best day in a red shirt! A cross from the right, he rises higher than anyone else and glances a header into the bottom corner and there was nothing Reina could do. A sickener for Liverpool.
- 83'
Agger and Nani have a rather frank exchange of views, with the Dane feeling Nani dived in the box.
- 82'
So Ferguson showing some attacking intent, replacing a midfielder with a striker. They haven't threatened at all since Liverpool pegged them back.

The game has settled down since Liverpool's equaliser. A draw is no good for United, surely they need to go all out for a win?
- 78'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> <b>Milan Jovanovic on for Raul Meireles</b>
- 76'
David Ngog involved for the first time, in all the confusion it's been very easy to forget he's playing. His shot is the worst of the game and rockets into the stands.
- 75'
Evra slides in late on Gerrard and is pretty lucky to escape a card.
- 74'
United are looking to try and regain their superiority, but Liverpool are understandly galvanised by recent events.
- 73'
Who is going to grab the winner? Surely there must be a winner???
- 72'
United look well and truly stunned, how have Liverpool levelled this match?
- 71'
Meireles almost on the scoresheet! A long through ball a the Portugueses is inches from connecting with a header.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> <b>Gerrard tucks the ball around the wall and low into the back of the net!</b> Out of nowhere Liverpool are level! Unbelievable stuff at Old Trafford!
- 68'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> <b>John O'Shea</b> is a very lucky boy! Torres races to get onto a through ball and the Irishman tugs him back. It looks like a nailed on red card, but Howard Webb issues a yellow. Gerrard over the set piece...
