In their first clash in European competitions, Liverpool bounced their fiercest rivals, Manchester United, from the Europa League and advanced to the quarter-finals.

In another first, Liverpool’s draw 1-1 at Old Trafford also signaled United’s first elimination in European competition against an English side.

Across the midfield, Liverpool struggled to get a grip on the match. The pairing of Emre Can and Jordan Henderson appeared shaky and off. Philippe Coutinho, in particular, struggled to hang onto the ball.
