Manchester United made the dream start to tonight's Premier League showdown with Liverpool, getting their noses in front with just over 15 minutes on the clock.
After coming flying out of the traps and hitting the post in the opening exchanges through the recalled Anthony Elanga, Jadon Sancho showed tremendous composure to finish cooly past Alisson from inside the penalty area. The England international received the ball square from Elanga and steadied himself with a handful of touches before finishing expertly.
It was an excellent move from United and it resulted in a goal that their early dominance richly deserved. It was Sancho's first goal since March and he became the first Reds player to score in the Premier League since May.
