Reds take down party of ten

Manchester United registered a first victory at Anfield since 2007 despite a disjointed display, as a sensational goal from Rafael and Robin van Persie’s late penalty sealed a comeback win this morning over a 10-man Liverpool. Steven Gerrard had fired the hosts into a deserved lead in the opening minute of the second half, only for Rafael to quickly curl home an unstoppable finish to level matters, and van Persie crashed home the decisive penalty after Antonio Valencia had been fouled by Glen Johnson. Three yellow cards were dished out over the course of the match, as was a 39th-minute red card which was shown to Jonjo Shelvey for a two-footed lunge on Jonny Evans.
