English football's two most successful teams didn't disappoint in a game that threatened to be a sideshow to the race row involving Patrice Evra, who captained United, and Luis Suarez, who sat in the stands.
Daniel Agger gave Liverpool the lead when he met a Steven Gerrard corner to power home beyond a stranded, and thoroughly unconvincing David de Gea.
