Manchester United and Liverpool played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Liverpool missing out on the top spot in the Premier League points tally. The first half started off well for United as Alejandro Garnacho almost converted a one-on-one chance, but the goal was ruled out due to offside. Later, Mo Salah got an opportunity to score for Liverpool, but a great save from Andre Onana kept trouble at bay for the hosts.

After some terrible defending by United, Darwin Nunez flicked a corner by Robertson to Luis Diaz, who put the ball into the nets to give his team a lead in the 23rd minute. The first half was a one-sided affair, with Liverpool registering 16 shots as compared to United's zero.

Just minutes into the second half, United star Bruno Fernandes delivered an equaliser, making the use of a poor pass from Caoimhin Kelleher to hit a stunning goal from 50 yards. The hosts took a lead in the 67th minute, when a beautiful curling finish came from Kobbie Mainoo. But after Aaron Wan-Bissaka had fouled Harvey Elliott, Salah took a penalty for Liverpool and levelled the scores in the 84th minute.

Liverpool is in the second spot with 71 points, with 21 wins, eight draws and two losses. United stays at sixth place with 15 wins, four draws and 12 losses, giving them 49 points. In the other match, Tottenham Hotspurs moved into the top four of the points tally with a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest at home.

An own goal by M Santiago Costa dos Santos gave the Spurs a 1-0 lead, but in the 27th minute, Nottingham bounced back as Anthony Elanga burst down the right and cut back for Chris Wood, who scored a goal in his fourth successive PL game. The game was level at 1-1 in the half-time.

In the 52th minute, Micky van de Ven delivered a powerful strike to restore Spurs' lead. Six minutes later, Pedro Porro delivered the match-winning goal.

A picture-perfect pass by Gustavo Hamer reached Bogle, who wasted no time in levelling the scores.

Noni Madueke restored Chelsea's lead with a goal in the 66th minute, but Oli hit a stunner in the stoppage time, denying Chelsea their three points.
