That's it for the live text then, thanks very much for joining me during the game and thanks as ever for your comments in the build-up and during the match.

Plenty of reaction still to come of course—get yourself over to my article timeline here on Bleacher Report for all the best post match analysis.

I'll be back next week with more top action and live commentary from the English Premier League—until then, take care and see you soon.

Liverpool go into the fifth round draw for the FA Cup, Manchester United go out—and both teams have a very busy and important month ahead of them. We'll have everything you need to cover your favourite side right here on Bleacher Report.

Man of the Match?

Well, there were several contenders. Martin Kelly and Martin Skrtel were immense for Liverpool in defence, while Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs were consistent and careful in possession for United.

Antonio Valencia caused the most problems for the away team with his forays down the right flank—but I'm going to award Martin Skrtel the award for his consistency and covering. Good dual all game long between the Slovakian defender and Danny Welbeck, which ultimately the Liverpool defender has come out on top of.

So what do we make of that finish?!

United were very strong in the first half and, though they created little to nothing, dominated the ball and stopped Liverpool playing at all.

Liverpool's game changed entirely with Kenny Dalglish's three quick-fire substitutions and ended the game far stronger—and could have added to their late winning goal.

Full time at Anfield:

Liverpool 2 Manchester United 1

Liverpool beat both Manchester sides in the space of three days after Dirk Kuyt's late winner sends out last season's semifinalists.

The Kop is in full voice now and King Kenny is smiling—United will have to turn their full attention to improving their second place in the Premier League.

Nope, Martin Kelly intercepts and clears the ball.

92 mins

Last seconds of the game, United throw near their own penalty box. Will they get the ball forward to create a last chance?

91 mins

Less than one hundred seconds to go at Anfield, and Liverpool are bouncing now. Carroll holds the ball up by the corner flag and wins a succession of throw ins.

Three minutes of time to be added on.

Should be all over.

Andy Carroll rises brilliantly at the far post and directs a header onto the crossbar from a narrow angle—and Dirk Kuyt, on the rebound, stabs wide of goal from just six yards out. Liverpool should be 3-1 ahead.

Dimitar Berbatov comes on for Ryan Giggs with United needing a quick reply.

How about that!!

Andy Carroll gets up above Evans and flicks on Reina's long pass and Dirk Kuyt bursts into the penalty area pass Patrice Evra to smash a low, first-time effort past de Gea and into the Kop net to put Liverpool ahead.

GOALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liverpool 2 Manchester United 1

Dirk Kuyt 87 mins

86 mins

Final minutes of the game now, is there a winner in this tie?

If there are no further goals the replay will be at Old Trafford in two weeks time.

85 mins

Liverpool attempting to pass their way through the United defence now but the blue-and-black shirts are tightly packed.

Reina has to come out of his box soon after and head clear as Hernandez looked to get onto a loose ball, and Welbeck's attempted shot from the rebound is weak and off target.

83 mins

Rafael, already on a yellow card, trips Andy Carroll needlessly in the centre circle. Free kick, but nothing more.

81 mins

Downing again skips free past Rafael down the left and delivers a better cross, though it is slightly behind Dirk Kuyt, who has to angle his header back in the opposite direction, and it bounces wide of the far post.

Up the other end, Welbeck cannot connect well enough with a shot and Reina isn't troubled in the slightest by his effort.

80 mins

Henderson and Downing link up on the edge of the box but the ball is cleared as far as Bellamy. More appeals for hand ball and penalty from the Kop as the ball bounces off Rafael, but nothing doing again.

Kuyt sets himself to shoot but can only scuff the ball goalwards from the edge of the box.

All Liverpool pressure now.

78 mins

Liverpool head clear and then on the edge of the area and on the stretch Carrick swipes the ball well wide.

The home side counter attack but a poor cross is cleared and the rebound won't break kindly for Henderson.

Charlie Adam shoots low from 30 yards but it is always skidding wide of de Gea's goal.

77 mins

Henderson bundles Welbeck to the floor and concedes the free kick, then Agger does the same to Hernandez out by the right touchline.

A chance for United to swing a cross into Reina's sun-lit penalty box.

76 mins

Downing tries to escape down the left but Rafael tackles him, then Jose Enrique's through-pass is over-hit.

A little under a quarter of an hour remaining of an absorbing contest; who will the next big chance fall to?

United sub: Paul Scholes going off, Hernandez coming on.

Two up top for United, or Welbeck out wide on the left?

74 mins

Evra gets forward down the left and crosses low towards Welbeck, but Agger is on hand to muscle the forward out the way and clear for Liverpool.

Javier Hernandez is ready to come on for United.

72 mins

The message is clear though from Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool want a win today.

Kuyt tries twice to cross from the right but the first is blocked and the second is easily caught by de Gea.

The momentum is with Liverpool now, but United are continuing to look to break quickly whenever possible.

71 mins

Liverpool substitution now—Craig Bellamy comes on for Steven Gerrard.

Jordan Henderson will play centrally along with Adam now, with Kuyt right side and Bellamy up top with Carroll.

70 mins

Plenty of space for Giggs to come forward in but Scholes' first time pass towards Welbeck wasn't accurate enough.

Downing and Jose Enrique link up down the left and Gerrard fires in a deep cross, which beats everybody and ends up right under de Gea's crossbar—this time he deals with it.

68 mins

Yet more unconvincing goalkeeping from de Gea who takes a cross at the second attempt, then is boshed to the ground by Carroll who was closing in on Kuyt's cross.
