The game had initially started in disappointing fashion for the Reds when Dominic Calvert-Lewin blocked an attempted kick forward from David De Gea and forced an unexpected goal for the hosts. United went on to dominate much of the first period and got back into the game through man of the moment Bruno Fernandes, whose long-range effort flew past Jordan Pickford, who appeared to have it covered.
The contest ended in dramatic fashion when Carlo Ancelotti's men had a goal ruled out by VAR for offside, after Calvert-Lewin had found the net in the dying seconds via a big deflection off Victor Lindelof.
