00:01There's something special in the air on every derby day and this one's no exception.
00:07Just which way is this going to go?
00:15It's on the way for you next, right here on EATV.
00:21A warm welcome from Anfield. My name's Guy Mowbray, I'm joined by Sue Smith on the gantry.
00:27The Cups in fine voice, hopefully we will be too. What a game this ought to be, Sue.
00:32Well, this is a huge game, Guy. Not many bigger than this, is there?
00:36And you never know what to expect in these sort of games, but let's just hope it lives up to the billing, though.
00:57Oh, no.
00:58Wow.
00:59Oh, no.
02:01This is the Liverpool starting line-up.
02:04Alisson is in goal.
02:05Ibrahimo Canate plays alongside Virgil van Dijk in central defence.
02:09Florian Virgs plays with Mohamed Salah in the wide positions.
02:13And the man tasked with leading the line is Ugo Ekitike.
02:19Here's how Manchester United line-up.
02:21Diogo Dalot plays with Luke Shaw in the full-back positions.
02:25And they go with just one in attack.
02:28Thank you for turning downfield. Enjoy the game.
02:31We're off and running in the first half.
02:52McAllister.
03:08Dominic Savoslai.
03:10Savoslai.
03:17Werds.
03:21Savoslai.
03:26Ekitike.
03:27And there it is.
03:31The goal that's broken the Derby deadlock.
03:35And hasn't this crowd enjoyed it?
03:37Well, here it is again.
03:54And he just makes it look so easy, doesn't he?
03:57Skips past the defender like he wasn't there.
03:59And he keenly flops it home.
04:20The ball gets rolling again with Manchester United keen to react to that setback.
04:25Dallot.
04:31Bruno Fernandes.
04:39Red the pass well and cuts it out.
04:42Breaking at pace.
04:43This could be dangerous.
04:51The attack broken up.
04:52Yeah, and I liked the approach play, but just lacked that final pass, didn't they?
04:58Lovely weighted pass.
05:03Is this the equaliser?
05:04Good save from the keeper.
05:06And here it comes.
05:28Dominic Savoslai.
05:31Ekitike.
05:33Chance now for a quick transition.
05:35Superb timing there from the goalkeeper.
05:45And Bermot.
05:48Well, they got so far, but no end result.
05:58Martinez.
05:58Could be setting something now.
06:05Could be setting something now.
06:11A decent effort, but met by tidy hands.
06:15Oh, dear.
06:16Everything about that wrong.
06:18A poor example of how to head the ball.
06:19Oh, dear.
06:21Alexis McAllister.
06:31Soboslai.
06:34They keep moving the ball, and whilst they do, they'll still be leading the game.
06:38Yeah, they're cruising at the moment, aren't they?
06:39Yeah.
06:40They're cruising at the moment, aren't they?
06:42That's a good point.
06:43Yeah.
06:46Yeah.
06:47Yeah.
06:47Yeah.
06:47Yeah.
06:48Yeah.
06:48Yeah.
06:48Yeah.
06:49Martinez.
06:50Yeah.
06:51Yeah.
06:52Yeah.
06:52Yeah.
06:53Yeah.
06:55Liverpool recovering possession well.
07:02Casemiro.
07:05Could turn out to be a really good ball.
07:09Yeah, surely. A wonderful stop.
07:12Yeah, he didn't have long to react. His reflexes are absolutely outstanding.
07:25And they decide against, playing it in.
07:30Yoko Dalla.
07:40Perfectly anticipated. Really well won.
07:44Well, as you can see, United are controlling possession over the last 15 minutes or so.
07:48And they're not just keeping possession well, they're creating opportunities too.
07:52And you can see that they do believe that this equaliser is coming.
07:56And here they go again, trying to make something happen.
08:03But they're not quite in sync there. It's offside.
08:06Well, he's got to do better there.
08:07He's got to realise the situation and keep hold of the ball a bit longer.
08:11So that he can get back onside.
08:18Dominic Sabosla.
08:19Well read to gain possession.
08:23Yeah, anticipated well there.
08:24Read that before it even happened.
08:30This could get interesting.
08:36Fernandes.
08:38Met by solid goalkeeping.
08:39They decide against putting it into the box.
08:57And there's the benefit of working to win the ball.
08:59Oh, great work. What's next?
09:00Gets the score.
09:01And that's a golden chance that's gone begging.
09:02Well, you've got to be composed and put that away.
09:03You're not going to get many chances easier than that to equalise.
09:04They're in here.
09:05And the keeper reads it down and saves.
09:06Manchester United down by one and looking for inspiration from this corner.
09:07And the keeper reads it down and saves.
09:08And the keeper reads it down and saves.
09:09Manchester United down by one and looking for inspiration from this corner.
09:10Under the box it goes.
09:11And the keeper reads it down and saves.
09:12And the keeper reads it down and saves.
09:13Manchester United down by one and looking for inspiration from this corner.
09:17Into the box it goes.
09:18And a bit of a disappointing end to the attack.
09:19Cristian,icon Chief of the Premier League.
09:21And the keeper reads it down and saves.
09:22And the keeper reads it down and saves.
09:25Manchester United down by one and looking for inspiration from this corner.
09:39Whoo?
09:44Well, the keeper reads it down and saves.
09:46Pointing end to the attack.
09:51Dalla.
10:01Breaking a pace.
10:02This could be dangerous.
10:09And he's in there.
10:12Wonderful save to deny them another goal.
10:14Yeah, the keeper's positioning was perfect.
10:17A phenomenal stop.
10:28Oh, could be here.
10:31Oh, brilliant anticipation.
10:38Diogo Dalla.
10:41And on to Fernandes.
10:44That's a lovely ball.
10:45There might be something building now.
10:48But for all this, you'd hope someone will get a chance.
10:51A vital block.
10:53It's not just the physicality, it's the timing, isn't it?
10:55It's a critical part of defending that.
10:58Brilliant.
10:58And there's still danger here.
11:09And there's still danger here.
11:24That was a really poor challenge.
11:26And that will be a yellow card.
11:37Yeah, and he can't have any complaints, can he?
11:45And the first 45 minutes have come and gone here at Anfield.
11:49He's certainly had a decent game so far, or maybe better than that.
11:56It's fair to say he hasn't disappointed.
11:59Yeah, it was a really solid performance, wasn't it?
12:02A lot of what was good about their play went through him.
12:05And I'm sure he'll be hoping for a similar impact in the second half.
12:08Off we go again then.
12:18Liverpool have the lead.
12:19And one they'll be keen to quickly extend.
12:21It's back and forth, but nobody's taking charge.
12:34Yeah, there's just no rhythm, is there?
12:37United finding space on the flank.
12:39Liverpool have the lead.
12:46Liverpool have the lead.
12:47Secure hands, calmly taken.
12:52Grim-pong.
12:54Now with Salah.
12:57Played in with that.
13:01Now with Fernandes.
13:03This is what they've been looking for, the counter-attack.
13:15Intercepted.
13:16Great reading of the game.
13:21Dallow.
13:23Now Harry Maguire.
13:27Bermot.
13:33Still behind, but this is looking promising.
13:36Holds it steady.
13:37No worries there.
13:40I can't believe they're behind it.
13:41The amount of chances they've created.
13:44They must be so frustrated with themselves.
13:46If they can be clinical, there's goals here for them, I'm sure.
13:52Manchester United are making a change now.
14:01Fulgarte.
14:03This looks promising from United.
14:10Oh, they were getting interested there, but not anymore.
14:13Breaking up pace.
14:14This could be dangerous.
14:22FGPA.
14:23And it's on now.
14:25They have to clear this.
14:26Fulgarte.
14:26Opportunity now
14:35It just needed the finishing touch
14:41A nice move ends there
14:42Yeah, it was a really important tackle there
14:45He looked like he was in, didn't he?
14:48Fernandes
14:49Able to skip past there
14:56Casimiro
14:57Fernandes
15:01And they won't be going any further
15:05Now there could be an opportunity to counter
15:08They've got to get back quickly
15:13He's in here
15:15And there's another one
15:17Valuable breathing space for them now
15:26Well, we can see it again now
15:35And they're so dangerous in these transitions
15:37The speed of the counter-attack is really impressive
15:40And then he's through 1v1 with the goalkeeper
15:42He doesn't rush it
15:44And it's a quality composed finish
15:46The lead is now two
15:57As the game restarts
15:58Luke Shaw
16:00Excellent reading of the game
16:04To win the ball
16:04This looks promising from Liverpool
16:11And that has missed by quite a distance
16:17We've got 20 to go in this one
16:38He's being hunted here
16:40Perfectly anticipated
16:47Really well won
16:48Fernandes
16:56And the pass is incomplete
17:00Nicely won
17:00Ugo Ekitike
17:04Ugarte
17:09Teeing up the chance now
17:16This will chance this
17:19Really solid defending
17:21The counter looks on here
17:27Options available
17:28And the breakaway
17:32Has now been broken
17:33Talo
17:39Now with Masraoui
17:42Could be setting something now
17:45Real opportunity
17:47And the referee has given a penalty
17:50And the yellow card follows the call
17:53Yeah, he got both decisions right there, you know
17:55Huge moment this
18:07And he's denied them from the spot
18:10He's played in now
18:18Ball in for Maguire
18:21He pulled one back here
18:24That looked as though it might have been slotted in
18:27But it's been placed wide
18:29Ryan Gravenberg
18:43Ugo Ekitike
18:46Setting up the chance
18:51The defence quick to snatch it back
18:54Fernandes
18:59Dalo
19:01And on to Fernandes
19:06It's Fernandes delivery
19:10And it's only just cleared the crossbar
19:13Yeah, it's nice play initially
19:15Gets a yard to get the cross in
19:16But the header just lacks that accuracy needed to test the keeper
19:20Mohamed Salah
19:27Ekitike
19:29Alexis McAllister
19:32Allowing space
19:46And he's finding it
19:47But that's where any chance of anything developing disappears
19:50So a corner coming up for Manchester United
19:59It's put into the middle
20:04And that has stopped any potential danger
20:07If they go now, there could be a break on
20:11They really need to get bodies back
20:16What a chance here
20:18Oh, fantastic save
20:21Yeah, read it well
20:22Narrowed the angle
20:23That's exactly how you deal with that
20:25And they need to clear it here
20:31There is the final whistle
20:35Plenty of positives for them to take away
20:38Not least the three-point suit
20:40Well, I thought they deserved to win the game, didn't they?
20:42They played some really nice stuff
20:44I thought they dominated the midfield area
20:46And the work rate was excellent
20:48It's a great result, that
20:49There have been a few good performances out there today
20:56But of all the players on show
20:58He's one that's really caught the eye
20:59Well, he'll be buzzing about the result
21:02And his goal, I'm sure
21:03It was a good all-round performance
21:05He was neat and tidy on the ball
21:07And I didn't see him give the ball away too much either
