Liverpool missed the chance to move back to the top of the Premier League as Manchester United held them to a 0-0 draw at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp's side pushed throughout in a game they were heavily favoured to win but found United in resolute mood. Erik ten Hag's team might even have won it on the counter-attack had Alisson not saved from Rasmus Hojlund in the second half.
Virgil van Dijk's header in the first half and Luis Diaz's header after the interval were as close as Liverpool came to the breakthrough. Even Diogo Dalot's red card in stoppage time did not help them.
They drop to second in the Premier League table, their perfect home record at an end. United are seventh. Ten Hag heartened.
Liverpool play West Ham in a Carabao Cup quarter-final on Wednesday, 8pm kick-off.
