Gary Lineker claimed that Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker was playing better than any Manchester United player in the opening exchanges at Anfield.
The deadlock was broken after just five minutes as Jurgen Klopp's attack waltzed through the Reds' five-man rearguard with Luis Diaz slamming home inside six yards. United's defence were helpless for the hosts' second after a passage of nimble play and a stunning pass by Sadio Mane that was finished off by Mohamed Salah.
Alisson was busy in the opening stages receiving a number of backpasses but eased by the challenges of the Reds' press inside his 18-yard box. It was a grim half for United as they completed just 92 passes in the opening 45, compared to Liverpool's 401.

The former Everton and Barcelona striker tweeted: "Alisson has been better than any @ ManUtd player." But unlike the Match of the Day presenter, the likes of Gary Neville didn't hold back in their analysis of Ralf Rangnick's side.
"This Man Utd team is a waste of space," Neville said in the aftermath of Liverpool's second, adding: "Manchester United are gone. Liverpool are just toying with them now and it’s actually very hard to watch."
