Liverpool held off relentless pressure to secure an encouraging 1-1 draw against Man United in the latest blockbuster fixture at Old Trafford.
The last time the two sides went head-to-head at Anfield, Liverpool dominated possession but it was a much closer encounter this time around.
United had the best chances in the first half but James Milner was on hand to cooly slot home a spot kick to give the Reds the lead, after a handball from Paul Pogba.
They held on for 83 minutes but Zlatan Ibrahimovic headed United’s equaliser following a period of intense pressure, leaving Liverpool frustrated.
Here’s the best of the reaction throughout the game on social media.
Alexander-Arnold was hailed on his first start…
Tonight Matthew, Trent Alexander-Arnold is going to be Rob Jones.

United almost took the lead following a poor pass back from Dejan Lovren…

Shambles by Lovren. Honestly.

Lovren is such a weird one. Can look so comfortable in one game and so controlled, then an absolute liability the next.

While Pogba got away with a rough challenge on Jordan Henderson…

How that's not a foul on Henderson ill never know. Someone should tell Pogba it's football not WWE. #MUNLIV

In what world is that a foul and booking for Lovren, but nothing against Pogba wrestling Henderson down?

But fans were ecstatic when Milner opened the scoring…
You've heard of the 'Hand of God'? Now hear about 'The Hand of Pog'.

Simon Mignolet had to make several important saves yet again…
Mignolet again. Good work.
— Empire of the Kop (@empireofthekop) January 15, 2017
You can't deny Mignolet has seriously upped his game since Karius arrival.

Fans were devastated when Ibrahimovic equalised and many thought it was offside…
How many offside goals are United going to get this season?

There was relief at full-time as the Reds managed to come away with a 1-1 draw…
I'll take a point but hard to swallow a goal that was offside #lfc

Yet again proves what having a squad in depth is all about. They where able to change the game from bench. Badly need reinforcements. #LFC

Mignolet put in the type of performance today that De Gea has put in regularly against Liverpool. World class game from the keeper.

Full of admiration for Trent Alexander-Arnold. An excellent PL debut considering the occasion

Bar City, all Liverpool's biggest away games are done- undefeated- with key players to return and five months of the campaign remaining
— John O'Sullivan (@NotoriousJOS) January 15, 2017
That was terrible. Seriously thought that was a poor performance on both sides! Decision making on our side was a little poor.
— Tom (@TomBrownrigg200) January 15, 2017
We've played Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Everton and United away. We're unbeaten.
— Ash Rose (@Ashleyrose66) January 15, 2017
Good all round performance & we fought for everything.Utd got very lucky as usual with an offside in the run up to the goal! 2 points lost!

European football starts again soon. Spurs, Arsenal, City, United all involved. Big factor. Only other away game we have vs top 6 is City.

We're very lucky Man United signed Pogba. Without him, we might have lost that game.

Disappointing to lose 2pts when leading for so long. We had a great chance to win it too with Wijnaldum. Still a long way to go. #LFC #YNWA
— Paul Snowdon (@67Snowy) January 15, 2017
Should have closed it out, and I think they'll be happier with a point than us, which should all be seen as a positive, not negative. #LFC
