Liverpool 1-1 Manchester United
« on: October 15, 2011, 04:22:44 PM »
Liverpool and Manchester United cancelled each other out at Anfield.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was denied a dream return to the starting line-up by United substitute Javier Hernandez's late header at Anfield. Gerrard curled home a 68th-minute free-kick to put seven months of rehabilitation after a groin operation behind him.

However, with nine minutes remaining Hernandez, surprisingly dropped to the bench along with Wayne Rooney, nodded home from close range.

United were second-best for long periods as they struggled to adapt to an unfamiliar line-up and were ultimately fortunate to leave Merseyside with their unbeaten league run still intact. And Ferguson was largely indebted to young keeper David de Gea, who has had his critics this season but made crucial saves to keep United in contention as they came under concerted pressure in the closing stages.
