Who was Man of the Match?

The Reds had to work hard for the spoils but showed real battling qualities to move into second spot in the Premier League table, even though Manchester City then kicked off against Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium.

There were a number of candidates for our Man-of-the-Match award but a clear winner.

Red-hot Marcus Rashford continued his outstanding run of form in front of goal by heading the opener, after finding space inside the box. Rashy, challenged by Erik ten Hag to hit 30 goals this term, moved on to 21 for 2022/23 with the emphatic finish past Illan Meslier.
