Both goalkeepers pulled off some smart saves to keep the scoreline down a little, but there was no doubting the dominance of the hosts in an entertaining encounter between these historic rivals.
Scott McTominay scored twice early on before Bruno Fernandes and Victor Lindelof also got in on the act. Liam Cooper pulled one back with a header before the interval, only for Daniel James and a penalty by Fernandes to extend the lead further. Stuart Dallas's strike somehow proved to be the last goal of the game as numerous other opportunites were passed up in the remaining 17 minutes.
