A look at some of the moments missed from Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at AnfieldLiverpool returned to action with the worst possible result as Manchester United secured a first win at Anfield since 2016.

Unfortunately for Liverpool that was about as sweet as it got.Mamardashvili fumes at SzoboszlaiIt was in the 82nd minute, with Liverpool chasing a late winner, when Dominik Szoboszlai took a quick throw back to goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.In his haste to get the game going, though, the Hungarian's delivery to the goalkeeper was a bit under-thrown, forcing the Georgia international to rush out and clear his lines in unconvincing fashion.Mamardashvili eventually got rid of it but was moved to make known his frustrations with Szoboszlai's throw and within a minute, United had won the game through Harry Maguire.It was an incident that summed up the frazzled thinking that has blighted Liverpool of late as they have chased late winners only to be hurt.Kerkez gets the messageThere was 22 minutes on the clock when Virgil van Dijk made a beeline for Milos Kerkez with a demand of his younger colleague.The left-back had played a straightforward ball back to goalkeeper Giorgi Mamradashvili when Van Dijk could be seen gesturing for his left-back to get up the pitch as the Reds searched for an equaliser.Van Dijk, who has been a flea in the ear of Kerkez from day at Anfield, made sure he communicated the need for the defender to push on further into United territory in an attempt to get back on level terms.The message for Kerkez was clear - move up and help out in attack.

It was one the £40m summer signing from Bournemouth heeded, even if he was unable to make telling contribution.Konate left hammering the turfThe sight of Ibrahima Konate hammering the turf in the 97th minute evoked memories of Bayern Munich's Samuel Kuffour doing likewise after the 1999 Champions League final.For those old enough to recall that, that game also involved a famous win for Manchester United and after a last-gasp attack at the Kop end ended with Liverpool failing to take advantage before United cleared, Konate was left on his hands and knees beating on the ground in frustration.It was at this point France international Konate knew the game was gone and his anger couldn't be contained as he smashed at the Anfield pitch to get his frustrations out.Liverpool sale knocks 50% off kit and merchThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
