Manchester United 1-0 win at Liverpool

A Carlos Tévez goal gave Manchester United FC a 1-0 win at Liverpool FC that puts nine points beween the two sides in the Premier League table.

Tévez strike
Liverpool were the dominant side in the first half and saw a Harry Kewell effort cleared off the line by Anderson. However, United struck in the 42nd minute after a Ryan Giggs corner found Wayne Rooney whose shot was diverted in by Tévez.

Liverpool pressure
The second half brought more Liverpool pressure but the away side still managed to carve out good opportunities with Rooney missing the best of them after he was unable to convert a Cristiano Ronaldo cross. Liverpool manager Rafa Benítez made a raft of substitutions but the home side could not force an equaliser in a big blow to their championship bid.
