A moment of magic from Bruno Fernandes was enough to decide a thriling FA Cup tie as Manchester United beat Liverpool 3-2 at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Mohamed Salah had put Liverpool ahead in the 18th minute, but Mason Greenwood leveled things up in the 26th minute and send the teams into the interval level.

Greenwood then turned provider for Rashford to coolly slot home soon after the restart in the 48th minute, however, Liverpool capitalised on poor passing out from the back as Salah struck again to make it 2 goals each at the 58th minute.
Liverpool played their full part and may feel slightly unfortunate to lose. Jurgen Klopp’s team enjoyed territory and created good chances. With the score at 2-2 just before Fernandes’ winner, they had the look of the dominant team.
But as soon as Liverpool’s defender Fabinho caught the leg of Edinson Cavani a yard outside the penalty area, the danger was so clear you could almost smell it.
A near perfect kick around the side of the Liverpool wall, accompanied with power and much needed accuracy made it impossible for the Liverpool shot stopper to prevent as he sent his Free-kick into the back of the net, securing the much needed win for Manchester United.
