12 min: United wouldn’t have been flattered by an early lead at all. They’ve started magnificently. Liverpool respond by stroking the ball around the back, hoping to take a little wind out of the United sail.
10 min: United hit the post! McTominay slips a pass down the inside right for Fernandes, who slides and hooks the ball away from Gomez and Van Dijk, and into the centre for Elanga. He’s one on one with Alisson! He beats the keeper, sweeping towards the bottom-right corner … but the ball caroms off the post and away. Liverpool so close to conceding the first goal for their seventh game in a row!
