Ratings – Manchester United 2 – 1 Liverpool

Van der Sar – 7 Couldn’t have done much to save Torres’ goal. Pretty much a spectator throughout as Liverpool only mustered two shots on target (including the goal).

Neville – 7 Kept maxi quiet throughout. Got forward quite well, but his final delivery was often lacking.

Ferdinand – 7 Kept Torres quiet for the majority of the game. Should have been tighter to Torres for the goal.

Vidic – 7- No real worries for him today. Torres got past him once but on the whole he did very well. Managed to avoid a 4th consecutive red card against Liverpool.

Evra – 6 Kept his wing quiet. Passing was off at times and didn’t get forward as well as he usually does.

Valencia – 8 Drifted in and out of the game, but when he was in it he was brilliant Went past Insua with ease at times. Won the penalty.

Fletcher – 7 Battled hard in midfield and kept the pressure on his opponents.

Carrick – 6 Sloppy passing at times.

Park – 7 Gave the ball away quite a lot. Outmuscled on several occasions and poor control on others. Scored the winner though. Can’t ask for much more than that.

Nani – 6 Quiet game for the Portuguese winger. Never really got into it. Defended well though.

Rooney – 6 Can’t fault his work rate, but it didn’t really happen for him today. Misplaced passes lost us possession too often. Possibly trying too hard. poor penalty but showed good instincts to tap in the rebound.
