According to ManUtd.com:

It was a thrilling cup tie worthy of inclusion in any catalogue of edge-of-your-seat matches between these two powerhouses.

The match swung from one side to another and never let up throughout the 90 minutes.

Liverpool drew first blood after 18 minutes through Mo Salah. But the Reds indomitable spirit came to the fore again as we hit back through Mason Greenwood in the first half and took an early second-half lead when Marcus Rashford struck.

Jurgen Klopp’s side wouldn’t lie down, however, and equalised with another Salah goal in the 58th minute.

United once again brilliantly dusted themselves off and Fernandes’ free kick 12 minutes from time saw us through to a fifth-round home clash against West Ham next month.
