Reds have scoreless tie as Mindy turns 65

Today may be Pam Dawber's 65th birthday, but I have found something better to celebrate - the Reds not losing. But they still should have won. Instead, Jose Mourinho’s first taste of Manchester United’s historic rivalry with Liverpool ended with a goalless draw at Anfield, where two world-class saves from David De Gea proved pivotal. Monday night’s match was largely an even contest throughout with the teams fashioning a few chances to score, particularly in the livelier second half when De Gea's athletic ability enabled him to deny Emre Can and Philippe Coutinho with astonishing acts of goalkeeping. It was United’s first match at Anfield since the new Main Stand had opened earlier this term and the increased attendance contributed to a particularly rousing rendition of the club anthem You’ll Never Walk Alone. A frenzied atmosphere sound-tracked the opening exchanges, too, particularly when the home fans protested the referee’s decision not to caution Marcus Rashford for an early foul on James Milner.
