Man United's well-earned draw at Liverpool gives Amorim hope

LIVERPOOL, England -- Amad scored a late equaliser to end Manchester United's three-game losing streak and seal a 2-2 draw at Anfield on Sunday that put the brakes on Liverpool's procession towards the Premier League title.

Having taken the lead through Lisandro Martínez early in the second half, a Cody Gakpo equaliser and Mohamed Salah penalty turned the game in Liverpool's favour as Arne Slot's side looked set to deepen the gloom for United coach Ruben Amorim, but winger Amad earned United a point when he scored in the 80th minute after converting Alejandro Garnacho's cross from ten yards.

In a game that was almost postponed due to heavy snow in the north of England -- it required two safety meetings on Sunday for the game to be cleared to play -- United came close to snatching a late win when Harry Maguire shot over the crossbar from close range in the seventh minute of stoppage time. Despite the late drama, though, Liverpool held on to claim a point that moves them six clear of Arsenal at the top of the table.
