Manchester United ended Liverpool's flawless start to the Premier League season with a late equalizer from Adam Lallana on October 20, 2019. The Reds were in search of their 18th successive league win to equal Manchester City's top-flight record set between August and December 2017.
However, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford scored a hotly-contested first-half goal, allowed after a video assistant referee check for a foul by Victor Lindelof on Divock Origi. Rashford finished neatly from Daniel James' cross in the 36th minute.
Liverpool, who saw a first-half strike from Sadio Mane ruled out by VAR for handball, struck back when substitute Lallana arrived unmarked at the far post to score from Andy Robertson's cross five minutes from time.
The draw means Liverpool's advantage at the top of the table has been cut to six points. Liverpool's relentless start to the season ended here at Old Trafford, an arena where they always struggle to produce their best.
