A strong Liverpool side, including Danny Ings, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Marko Grujic and Jon Flanagan went ahead in the 14th minute through Ovie Ejaria.

Joshua Bohui set up James Wilson to equalise for United on the hour mark, but Grujic quickly restored Liverpool's lead by heading in Ben Woodburn's corner.
