Manchester City underlined the vast gulf in quality between themselves and Manchester United on Sunday as Liverpool showed their support for absent team-mate Luis Diaz, whose parents were kidnapped in Colombia.
Old Trafford paid tribute to late United great Bobby Charlton ahead of kick-off, with supporters unfurling a banner that read:"The finest English footballer the world has ever seen".
City goalkeeper Ederson saved a Scott McTominay pile-driver before Andre Onana produced heroics at the other end when Haaland appeared certain to head home. "When we come here to Old Trafford we perform well -- last season we lost, this season we won, so good." Jota held aloft Diaz's number seven shirt after scoring -- the Colombian did not feature in Liverpool's squad following the kidnapping incident in his home country.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said preparation for the game had been"the most difficult I've ever had in my life".
