Liverpool vs Man United LIVE: Premier League updates – Mo Salah doubles Liverpool lead

Mo Salah is only the second player to both score and assist in home and away games against Manchester United in a single Premier League season, after Mesut Ozil in 2015-16.

Luis Diaz and Mo Salah both found the back of the net in the first half to send Liverpool into the break with a comfortable lead.

In a touching moment during the seventh minute of the clash between the fierce rivals at Anfield on Tuesday evening, Liverpool fans led the applause and sung a rousing rendition of club anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone” out of respect for the United number seven and his family.

45+1 mins: Manchester United will be happy to get off the pitch. They’ve barely turned up at all. Liverpool haven’t had anything to worry about and both goals have been brilliant, flowing moves.

If they come out for the second half, they could notch up the scoreline. Man Utd have to come up with a way to put the pressure back on Liverpool. That’s a solution that Ralf Rangnick has to come up with.

45 mins: One minute of added time to play. Liverpool are heading into the break with a very solid advantage after a fine first 45 minutes.

41 mins: Liverpool have had over 75% of possession so far in this game as it approaches half-time. Manchester United are being played off the park. It’s very similar to the game between these teams at Old Trafford where United had no answers for Liverpool.

38 mins: Marcus Rashford tries to make use of Liverpool’s high line after Victor Lindelof punts the ball over the top. He attempts to bring the ball down but can’t control it properly and Alisson is quickly off his line to tidy up for Liverpool.

35 mins: Disallowed goal! Things almost went from bad to worse for Man Utd after a stylish run from Fabinho. He cuts across the front edge of the box from left to right before slotting the ball back across the penalty area to Luis Diaz. He’s got in behind the defence and taps home for his second goal but gets flagged offside in one of the more easier decisions the assistant referee has to make.

31 mins: Liverpool continue to pressure the Man Utd defence as they win consecutiv corners. Harry Maguire squeezes in front of Fabinho to head the first one out of play before David De Gea comes out to punch the second one clear.

Liverpool flick it back into the box but Sadio Mane is caught offside as the ball lands in the hands of the United goalkeeper.

28 mins: Thiago cuts inside from the left channel and laces a pass over to Mo Salah on the right wing. Salah brings the ball into the box and has a shot half stopped. The deflection knocks it over to the byline where De Gea leaps across to smother the ball and stop a corner.
