Liverpool created the first opening early on as Gini Wijnaldum entered the final third with attacking intent. However, Rio Ferdinand fouled Jordan Henderson with a last-ditch tackle and Roberto Firmino saw his rebound effort saved.

Edwin Van der Sar was kept busy for much of the first half. Dutch defender Virgil Van Dijk almost scored a corner but saw his header cleared off the line by Patrice Evra.

But it was Rooney who created the best chance before half-time, seeing his bullet header smash the post. The opening goal finally arrived after the break from one of United's non-2008 substitutes. It was Dutchman Ruud Van Nistelrooy who fired a superb left-footed finish across Alisson after being slipped behind the Liverpool back-line by the legendary Ryan Giggs.
