Comments:

League position: 8th Liverpool had now lost one of the last 15 home games in all competitions (won eight). The Reds had now won one of their last eight league and cup games (lost two). This was the first game at Anfield after the Centenary Stand had been renamed the Kenny Dalglish Stand as part of the club's 125th anniversary year celebrations. Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp said: “Manchester United came here for a point and got it. For sure you could not play this way at Liverpool but it's okay for Manchester United. We were dominant, it is a home game for us so we should be dominant. I am okay with the performance it is not my job to judge the MU performance.”

Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester United had now equalled their highest points total after their first eight games of a Premier League season (20 points, also in 2011-12 and 1999-00). The Red Devils had now kept nine clean sheets in their last ten games in the Premier League. Romelu Lukaku failed in his attempt to become the first player to score in all of his first eight games for United in the Premier League. Manchester United manager José Mourinho said: “It depends what for you is an entertaining game. One thing is an entertaining game for fans, another thing is entertaining game for the people who read football in a different way. That's different. For me the second-half was a bit of chess but my opponent didn't open the door for me to win the game."
