Two swings, many misses. Liverpool salvage some extent at Manchester United however will know they left a victory on the Outdated Trafford pitch, in addition to the lead within the title race. This nearly farcical 2-2 draw ensured Jurgen Klopp’s aspect have fallen behind Arsenal on objective distinction.
