Liverpool deservedly led at half-time before brilliant finishes from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo turned the game on its head.
Manchester United dented bitter rivals Liverpool’s title hopes as Mohamed Salah’s late spot-kick salvaged a 2-2 draw in Jurgen Klopp’s final trip to Old Trafford.
It was the 27th point Klopp’s comeback kings have won from a losing position but may not be enough, putting them level with leaders Arsenal on 71 points but substantially behind on goal difference. But the flag quickly went up as the teenager had strayed offside when being put through by Fernandes and United would go on to fail to register a first-half shot as their intense start dramatically tailed off.
Robertson’s corner from the right was flicked on at the near post by Darwin Nunez, with United lax defence punished as the inexplicably open Diaz volleyed into the ground and beyond Onana.It was no less than the visitors deserved, but the hosts could have levelled almost immediately had someone attacked Casemiro’s header back across goal from a free-kick.
The goalscorer did not even require treatment and was soon threatening to extend Liverpool’s lead which they continued to threaten when the second half got under way.United continued to flounder but used a get of jail free card in spectacular fashion as their first shot brought a 50th-minute leveller.
But they were not in control and Liverpool wasted a gilt-edged chance, breaking with five men against what had been two defenders, only for Nunez squander a chance at the back post.Both managers turned to their bench before another moment of individual quality had Old Trafford shaking in the 67th minute.
