It wasn’t pretty and they didn’t muster much more than a third of possession, but they invited United onto them, absorbed the pressure masterfully and Kerr, who could have had three or four, was a constant menace. Free-scoring United are left to reflect on a game where they created almost nothing. And now comes the true test of their mettle: they’ve been knocked off top spot by the champions, who have game in hand over them. With a third of the season still to play, their response to this will make or break their title bid.
