Brilliant. When we went down, we really played some good stiff in periods. Towards the end there are always moments but we kept them away. Great goal. The free kicks I think he stayed about 58 minutes yesterday practicing free kicks. He’s never happy with me when I tell him to go inside because he’s playing. So he got some practice. [Rashford] His knee was bothering him. We’ll scan tomorrow and we’ll see how we are.
Bruno Fernandes, the match-winner off the bench speaks.
I’m happy because we win, nothing more. Most important was going to the next round. It doesn’t matter who scores but if I score I am happy. I work hard on free kicks. Cavani told me two try on the other side of the keeper. We played well, 300 minutes was a good game for both teams. We pressed them more in the league. This is everything, a dream come true, playing for this big club in the Premier League. I know now the fans are happy and will have a good week.

Trent takes, and there’s a crowd scene. Pogba heads back out, and Salah’s shot is well wide. It would have been miraculous if he had scored from that.

348 2 min:
Liverpool pushing on and on. And United back and keeping their shape, and pushing up too. Jones escapes down the wing and is legged up by Pogba. A free-kick in a dangerous position.
1 66 PM EST 28: 66
348 min: There will be four minutes of time added on. Pogba and Wan-Bissaka have to play head tennis to clear some
Liverpool danger. Origi goes down, and that delays matters. He will be OK to continue.
1. 066 pm EST 28: 066
min: United making use of the counter. And Cavani rattles the post from a superb cross from Fernandes. That would have sealed it. Then, Lindelof is booked for a foul on Origi that stops a Liverpool counter.
1. 64 PM EST 28: 64
300 min: United are up in numbers but Martial is lax. He attempts a dummy when the best advice would be to retain possession. That takes Liverpool back down the other end.
1. 61 pm EST 28: 61
243 min: United change: Rashford off and Martial on. Rasha heads down the tunnel with something of a limp. A worry for Ole.
1. 55 PM EST 28: 59
221 min: Liverpool try to find their way back in. A chip for Origii finds its way to Henderson in United’s goal.
1. 53 PM EST 28:
178 min: Wan-Bissaka cuts off a ball aimed for a bursting mané. It’s a
Liverpool corner. Shaqiri’s kick is cleared. The ball comes out to Milner who drifts his pass over everyone.
120 min: Off go Thiago and Firmino, on come Origi and Shaqiri,
1. PM EST 28: 55
98 min: Rashford’s shot saved by Alisson from a Wan-Bissaka cross, though the offside flag was up. Wan-Bissaka then buccaneers up the right on a jinking run, only for the ball to be cleared.
1. (pm) EST 28: 49
094 min: Pogba’s movement in the wall opened up space and Alisson was beaten. Might he have done better?
1. PM EST 28: 47
Goal! Manchester United 3-2 Liverpool (Fernandes, 98)
Cavani is pulled down as he spins off Fabinho. Free-kick chance on the edge of the box. Bruno will take this one. He talks to himself – or a higher power – as he prepares himself. There is a lengthy delay and he scores … that’s brilliant.

87 min: Snapshot from Salah, as he cuts in from the right and tries to beat Henderson at the near post. Henderson is equal to that one.
86 min: Trent tries to get Mané in with a Rashford-style pass. It whistles past. Then Pogba charges along and his cross is straight at Alisson. It’s a poor cross and Pogba yelps in anguish.
81 min: Firmino releases Salah and it takes a good save from Henderson to clear the danger. Perhaps Salah might have played in Mané but he was on a hat-trick.
