| United beat Liverpool 2-1 after nervy finish Posted: 13 Jan 2013 07:37 AM PST  Manchester United's Patrice Evra (centre) celebrates his goal against Liverpool with team mates during their English Premier League soccer match at Old Trafford in Manchester, northern England. — Reuters pic A dominant United somehow let Liverpool stay in the game but in the end stretched their advantage to 10 points ahead of second-placed Manchester City playing at Arsenal later (1600 GMT). Dutchman Van Persie, English football's in-form striker along with Liverpool's Suarez, grabbed a first-half opener for United after Evra's assist and the Frenchman's header deflected in off team mate Nemanja Vidic to make it 2-0 after 54 minutes. Substitute Daniel Sturridge pulled one back for eighth-placed Liverpool soon after and the visitors applied further pressure but United hung on. — Reuters |
