Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s side headed into this match as underdogs against Jurgen Klopp\u2019s rampant side \u2013 little wonder given the visitors had won their last 17 league matches and the Red Devils were just a point off the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
United have so often been the scourge of Liverpool at Old Trafford, though, and were on course for a memorable win thanks to Marcus Rashford\u2019s contentious goal, only for late replacement Lallana to secure a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n
It was the first time Klopp\u2019s men had dropped points since March 3, but this game was shaping up to be a whole lot worse for the table-topping visitors.<\/p>\n
United dragged Liverpool into a scrap by playing with an intensity so often lacking this season, with their unusually resolute defence providing the platform for a break that saw Daniel James superbly cross for Rashford to turn home.<\/p>\n
The visitors were furious that the video assistant referee allowed the goal to stand despite Victor Lindelof\u2019s challenge on Divock Origi in the build-up \u2013 frustration that only grew when what would have been an equalizer by Sadio Mane was cancelled out for handball.<\/p>\n
Liverpool were missing injured Mohamed Salah but looked sharper after the break and salvaged a late point as Lallana ghosted in at the far post to turn home Andrew Robertson\u2019s cross.<\/p>\n
