Amad Diallo grabbed a point for Manchester United in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League.

Liverpool started brighter as they looked to restore their eight-point lead at the top, while United were trying to climb away from the growing threat of a relegation battle under Ruben Amorim.

There were good chances for both sides in the first half, but none of Cody Gakpo, Alexis Mac Allister or Rasmus Hojlund could score.

In the second half, Lisandro Martinez opened the scoring with a wonderful effort from a tight angle, only for Gakpo to hit back shortly before the hour mark, and Mohamed Salah converted a penalty when Matthijs de Ligt handled to put the hosts ahead.

With 10 minutes remaining, Amad got ahead of Andy Robertson to equalise, before both sides failed to find a winner in a rip-roaring finale, with Harry Maguire coming the closest deep in injury time when shinnig over the bar with the goal gaping.
