Your support makes all the difference.Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League with an impressive 3-1 victory over bitter rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Sadio Mane gave the Reds the lead early in the first-half only for Jesse Lingard to score a well-worked, if against the run of play equaliser.
But the introduction of Xherdan Shaqiri, who replaced Naby Keita midway through the second-half, was to prove key.
Shaqiri gave Liverpool the lead just two minutes after coming on and then made sure of the three points with a deflected finish shortly afterwards.
