Goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah secured victory for Liverpool, despite United running the hosts close after dominating much of the second half.
“On the pitch, we felt, 'We are in the game, we can score, we can create,'“ Matic told MUTV after the match.
”I think we played some good football. In the last 35 to 40 minutes, we were the better side. But it’s hard. If you don’t score against this kind of team it’s hard to draw or to win.“I think everyone on the pitch from our team felt that we were in control, completely in control, so that’s the model of how we should always play against top teams.
