The Reds required an 84th-minute penalty to leave Old Trafford honours even but nevertheless will be disappointed to not come away with three points. The hosts came into the match during the second 45 but Liverpool still notched 28 shots in all, along with 63% possession.

While United have given up three late leads in as many matches, certainly Liverpool will leave more disappointed given their pre-match status. Following the game, Klopp was left dumbfounded in one interview.

Klopp’s face immediately dropped at the mention of ‘both sides’, and his focus was sidetracked by that remark. The German coach, who is set to depart Anfield at the end of the season, started his answer by acknowledging the point.

“United is disappointed? That’s interesting.

Good,” the perplexed boss said. Erik Ten Hag lamented the ‘stupid’ mistakes his side made to once again leave points on the table.

Though ultimately, he was also proud of his side’s efforts. “On one side I am disappointed that we have dropped seven points in one week after being in winning positions, but we have to blame ourselves for making stupid mistakes.

There are also some poor decisions and not every time the same player. Still we have to improve and the sooner the better.

“In decisive areas we were losing battles especially with young players we were not confident to win them [duels]. We encouraged in the second half to do better and they stepped up.”
