Man United drew\u00a01-1 with Liverpool at\u00a0home in an enthralling game on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The draw<\/span><\/span> means there are just five points between United in sixth on\u00a040 points\u00a0and second-placed Tottenham on 45 points, with leaders Chelsea in front with 52.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n At Old Trafford it was Liverpool who struck first through James Milner\u2019s penalty, but a fantastic header from Zlatan Ibrahimovic levelled the scores with six minutes left on the clock.<\/p>\n It would have taken a brave man to bet against Milner\u00a0scoring – the result of a Paul Pogba handball –\u00a0considering he has scored each of his last 10 penalties in the Premier League.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n But it\u2019s Simon Mignolet who the visitors should\u00a0thank for going in at half-time with their 1-0 lead intact, The goalkeeper made two superb saves to deny both\u00a0Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Ten minutes after the restart Anthony Martial was unlucky not to equalise when Mkhitaryan burst into the box<\/span><\/span> on the right hand side, but the cross was too quick for the Frenchman to reach.<\/p>\n
