Peter Beardsley, Gary Gillespie, and Steve McMahon all found themselves on the scoresheet for Liverpool.
United further suffered a blow when Colin Gibson was dismissed. But the visitors still made a big comeback in the game. Strikes from skipper Robson and Gordon Strachan helped to spoil the Reds’ fun as United managed to take a point from the contest.

Manchester United 1 Liverpool 4 (2009)
Manchester United was leading the Premier League table and looked the favourites when they hosted Liverpool at Old Trafford. However, the Reds produced one of their finest performances at the Theatre of Dreams and completely outclassed their rivals.
Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best strikers in Premier League history, put his side ahead through a penalty goal early in the match, but Fernando Torres managed to equalise after capitalising on a mistake from Nemanja Vidic.
