After hitting seven in the previous round, past Barnsley, the Reds racked up four more in the first half alone here. Casemiro got two of them, with Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes also on the scoresheet.
Yet it was 4-2 at the break, a very rare occurrence in our history, thanks to replies from Bilal El Khannous and Conor Coady.
The second half was probably never going to be as entertaining as the first, but Fernandes struck his second to ensure a lively atmosphere was maintained on a night van Nistelrooy must have treasured.
FIRST HALF - SIX GOALS!
