Liverpool poll: Was Man Utd draw two points dropped for Jurgen Klopp's men? Have your say with Standard Sport

1/30

Liverpool rescued a late point against Manchester United on Sunday as their formidable 17-match Premier League winning run was finally brought to an end.

It was the first time since a goalless Merseyside derby draw against Everton back in March that Jurgen Klopp's Reds have failed to take maximum points from a top-flight contest.

It means that the reigning European champions can no longer hope to better or indeed equal Manchester City's 18-game winning mark recorded last term.

The Red Devils led through Marcus Rashford's controversial strike, which was allowed to stand after a VAR check, before Adam Lallana salvaged a draw late on for Liverpool.

The result means Liverpool are still six points clear of title rivals Manchester City, while United were able to halt their alarming slide. But who ultimately got the better result?

Jordan Henderson said it could turn out to be a "big point" for the Merseysiders after Lallana's 85th-minute strike. Given that Liverpool lost the title by a point last season, he could well be right.

"I'm delighted for Adam [Lallana] because he works hard and he deserves a bit of luck," he told Sky Sports.

"He saved us with his goal and that could be a big point. We could have been better today and in the second half we were much better but if you can't win, don't lose.

"It was quite scrappy in the first half and we weren't playing football. In the second half we caused them more problems and were pushing for the winner but couldn't find it."
