Liverpool will almost certainly qualify for the Champions League should they win their final three matches of the season after Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah fired them to Jurgen Klopp's first ever win at Old Trafford.

Manchester United went ahead through Bruno Fernandes - a strike which could yet go down as an own-goal from Nat Phillips - but having started slowly, Liverpool turned the game around with one of their better performances of the season at a vital time, with Diogo Jota also on the scoresheet.

Jota made it 1-1 with a deft flick inside the penalty area, before Phillips was brought down inside the box by Eric Bailly - only for Anthony Taylor to change his mind having watched a replay, turning over his decision to point to the spot.

Firmino headed home a Trent Alexander-Arnold free-kick to put Liverpool in front just before half-time before the Brazilian put the Reds 3-1 up just after the interval, but then Liverpool's life was made harder when Marcus Rashford pulled a goal back with around 25 minutes to play.

Liverpool, though, added a fourth goal through a Salah counter-attack late on - his 30th goal of the season so far - to seal the victory.

The Reds face West Brom, Burnley and Crystal Palace in their final three games of the 2020/21 campaign.
