Draw decides Liverpool and Manchester United summit

The Anfield summit between Liverpool and Manchester United ended in a positive draw this evening, Sunday, in the 20th round of the English Premier League.

Amad Diallo scored a late equaliser to help Manchester United overcome their recent form and earn a 2-2 draw at Premier League leaders Liverpool.

It looked like Ruben Amorim's United side would go home empty-handed, despite a much improved performance, but Diallo scored an 80th-minute equaliser to earn his side a point.

United took the lead in the 52nd minute when Lisandro Martinez fired a powerful shot into the net from a tight angle.

Liverpool have 46 points from 19 games, 6 points ahead of Arsenal, while United moved up to 13th place with 23 points.
