The visitors were bidding to equal the all-time English top-flight record of 18 successive wins held by Manchester City, but it ended in a 1-1 draw.
Lallana’s goal gave the visitors a point to share as it was his first for 2½ years. United have now moved a step backward to 13th on the table, United will hope to have so much from this draw even if Liverpool were far below their best,
United came with a plan to mount a defensive pressure on Liverpool as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 3-4-2-1 formation helped him to secure a draw at old trafold, it was quite unfortunate for Klopp as his attacking style of play was incomplete without Mohamed Salah due to an injury that left him out of the squad and to was replaced by Divock Origi.
United only won twice this season, and are yet to score more than a goal since their 4-0 victory against Chelsea in the league opener.
Victor Lindelof tackles Divock Origi from behind which gave Scott McTominay who sent the ball wide to James who sent a superb out-swinging cross that evaded Joel Matip. Rashford’s run was smart - checking and losing Matip - and he was there to steer the ball with the outside of his right boot past Alisson who had returned in goal after 10 weeks out injured.
