Liverpool 2 Manchester United 1: match report Geneva or Reykjavik, perhaps: the kind of venues the world's great superpowers used to hold their peace summits. Instead, the most unwanted of draws renewed hostilities, ensuring the most septic tonsils had an opportunity to make themselves heard. Nearly 6,000 United fans were condemning the absent Suarez long before kick-off. The Kop saved its verbal assault on Patrice Evra until the game began, booing his every touch. Any hope the malignant row which besmirched the last meeting would evaporate amid conciliatory words was wishful thinking. "MUFC-Defending Titles, LFC - Defending racism" read a United banner. "We're not racists we only hate Mancs," was The Kop's response. Even the pre-match handshake between Steven Gerrard and Evra was cursory, the Liverpool captain not meeting the gaze of his opposing captain. The football itself was scruffy. It was the home side which began brightest, De Gea pushing aside a Maxi Rodriquez shot from distance after four minutes. But De Gea was at fault when Liverpool took the lead on 21 minutes. Gerrard's corner caused havoc in the United six yard box, and Agger comfortably headed beyond the stranded Spanish keeper. Any thoughts this would showcase a period of home dominance were short-lived as Liverpool's formation was a cause for concern. It was the same tactic as against Manchester City but with different personnel. Carroll does not have the ability and menace of Craig Bellamy, who was left on bench having run himself to the point of exhaustion in the Carling Cup. Jamie Carragher was also recalled as a holding midfielder - a role he's not filled regularly for over a decade. Indeed, with Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs lining up in direct opposition, this was the afternoon for the older generation to expose the limitations of those unable to displace them. Scholes" influence was majestic while he was on the pitch, his ability to retain possession allowing United to probe their way back. Their equaliser came six minutes before the break after Jose Enrique's lapse allowed Rafael da Silva to break clear down the United right. His cross was pounced upon by Park, whose finish beyond Pepe Reina was emphatic. There was no surprise Dalglish made changes after the break, with Carragher and Rodriguez replaced by Charlie Adam and Dirk Kuyt. Bellamy, the hero of Wednesday's semi-final, appeared on 71 minutes with Gerrard's aching limbs preserved. Sir Alex Ferguson sent on Javier Hernendez, who scored here in October. Despite the changes draw was looking increasingly inevitable, until Kuyt pounced on 88 minutes to send the Liverpool fans delirious. Not surprisingly, it was not Kuyt's name which echoed around Anfield at full-time, it was Suarez's.
