What was the final score of the Liverpool vs Manchester United match?
It's finished one apiece at Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford putting United in front in the first half, only after the VAR check ruled that the referee had not made what was a clear and obvious error. Liverpool thought they'd equalised just before half-time through Sadio Mane. That one was ruled out by VAR for the handball, but there was time late in the game for Adam Lallana to come off the bench and score an equaliser. His first for two and a half years. So a point apiece, Liverpool's winning run is over, but they are still unbeaten. We can hear from those two, Henderson and Alana, with Geoff Shreves.
How did VAR influence the first half of the match?
Jordan, I saw you had your arm round Adam as you came off the pitch. Do you owe him a large thanks today? Yeah, definitely, you know. I'm delighted for him because he works so hard. and he deserves a bit of luck to come on and get a goal. I'm delighted for him, and he saved us with a point today, and it could be a big point come the end of the season. I'm delighted for him, but we could have been better today, we know that. I still feel as though towards the second half we were much better and wanted to go and win the game, but if you can't win, don't lose, and thanks to this man, we never. It was far from a vintage performance. What was the problem today? I'm not sure.
What led to Liverpool's disallowed goal before half-time?
I thought it was quite scrappy first half. We weren't fluid enough. We weren't playing football at all, really, first half.
How did Adam Lallana impact the game after coming off the bench?
It was quite scrappy. Second half, I thought we caused them more problems, especially towards the end of the game. We were pushing for the winner towards the end but couldn't find it. What were the manager's instructions to you when he sent you on, Adam?
Just make an impact. We've got 25 minutes left. Like Jordan said, we probably weren't at our best today, but at times like that you have to look to the bench and you have to come on and change the game. I thought Ox done extremely well when he came on. If we're going to win the league, if we're going to compete, to take the title then we're not going to need just 11 we're going to need a squad and if that's what we can take out of today's game then brilliant and I think it is a point gained we weren't our best but people were you know saying this was probably going to be an easy three points for us it just shows it's never the case as form goes out the window in these kind of games.
Did you feel like you were heading towards that banana skin that the manager referred to?
Not really. I think, especially when I came on, it felt that after 10 minutes we kind of controlled the game and towards the end I thought we were the only team that were going to go and get three points.
What was the feeling amongst Liverpool players on their goal and the foul and the build-up to it or the foul that Liverpool players were claiming?
I think you know what the feeling was because you've seen all of our reactions when they went in. You probably know better than me because you've looked back at it.
What were the players' thoughts on their performance after the match?
I just felt as though the referee gave a lot of them free kicks to them, similar type of free kicks in the first half, and that one for me was very similar to the one he'd given Marcus early on and he didn't give it for us. But we've got to defend the goal better and it's no excuse for us. Performance level wasn't up to our normal standards. We've got to accept, move on, learn from the gain, take the positives, learn from the negatives and keep going, keep pushing. Psychologically though, Adam, how big is the difference between losing here today and coming away with something?
Yeah, it's huge. We've come to Old Trafford and we've got a point. Probably take that at the beginning of the season and we're still unbeaten this season. So, huge positives considering we didn't play our best. But like Jordan said, we learn, we move on and we've got Genk midweek now and then Spurs at Anfield at the weekend. Well done. Congratulations on coming on and getting your goal. Well done, guys. Cheers.
Yeah, big moment for Adam Lallana. This is how it finished. One apiece then. Ten attempts from Liverpool to United.
