Liverpool v Manchester United - Premier League
Joe Gomez shut down Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial before him

Sky Sports' man of the match, Joe Gomez was brilliant at right-back for Liverpool. He kept Anthony Martial on a leash - apart from that one moment of magic from the Frenchman (in the lead up to the Lukaku chance) that could have changed everything - but he hardly put a foot wrong against two of the Premier League's deadliest wingers.

Martial, in the end, was forced to switch flanks - and against Moreno, he created more, and had more freedom, in ten minutes than the preceding fifty against Gomez.

When Rashford came on, it was more of the same, the young Englishman having one of his quietest games yet - and with Gomez blocking him everywhere he went.

An assured display from the youngster - and one that made sure Mourinho's gameplan didn't quite work.
