Jamie Carragher has said the fact Liverpool were expected to turn over Manchester United was their downfall on Sunday afternoon. The Reds could only manage a 2-2 draw with their rivals at Anfield.

The visitors took the lead through Lisandro Martinez early in the second-half. The hosts then fought back to lead 2-1 after goals by  Cody Gakpo and Mo Salah.

Meanwhile, former Reds striker Daniel Sturridge, who was in the studio with Roy Keane, said: “Respect to United .You ave got to give them credit for that. Liverpool weren’t at their absolute best today but they’ll be happy with the result at the end of the day. They didn’t lose the game. The expectation before was that they’re going to blitz them, that it was going to be a high scoring in Liverpool’s favour. Manchester United came today and performed to the level that their manager wanted them to since he has been at the club. In the end it was a fair result.”
