Adam Lallana's 85-minute goal silenced the Old Trafford Stadium as Liverpool held a 1-1 draw against Manchester United. The Red Devils stopped the Reds' winning run in the Premier League

Marcus Rashford had put the Red Devils ahead after 37 minutes when James charged down the right and curled a brilliant cross, which was met by Rashford's shot, netting the first goal for Man Utd.

Adam Lallana earned Liverpool a point when Robertson's low cross was missed by Lindelof at the near post and ran through to Lallana, who tapped into an open net from four yards.

Liverpool started the game so fiercely as early as after only ten minutes when Sadio Mane headed the ball down nicely for Firmino, who sliced a half-volley miles wide.

The Red Devils' first decent attack was in the 21st minute when Rashford curled a perfect pass to James, whose shot was blocked by Matip. The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) disallowed Mane's 43-minute equalizer as the ball hit Mane’s hand.

The Reds are still on the top of the Premier League table, despite the draw with twenty-four points, while the Red Devils jumped to the eighth spot with twelve points.

Noteworthy, Liverpool star Mo Salah did not take part for the first time since the beginning of the Premier League as he did not totally recover from his injury till now.

Mo Salah had suffered a serious injury and was replaced by Adam Lallana during the Reds’ 2-1 victory over Leicester City after he was hacked down by Hamza Choudhury.

Following Leicester City’s clash at Anfield, Liverpool’s fans targeted the English midfielder Choudhury with racist abuses through social media platforms, including Twitter.
