The Reds survived a couple of scares before exerting more control on proceedings as the game wore on, hitting the woodwork through Facundo Pellistri, on his first senior start for the club, just before half-time.
After the break, Marcus Rashford spurned two openings before delivering a superb strike from outside the box that flew past keeper Rui Silva.
It proved sufficient to earn victory on the night and it was enough for Marcus to land another star-man prize.
Rashford, our reigning Player of the Month, was named in the England squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers by Gareth Southgate earlier today, and his trio of goals for the Three Lions at the World Cup finals mean he now has 30 in all competitions for club and country.
