Manchester, May 15 (TIWN) Jurgen Klopp tasted victory at Old Trafford for the first time as Liverpool breathed new life into their top-four push with a thrilling 4-2 win in the rearranged fixture against Manchester United.

United missed this chance to all but end Liverpool's Champions League qualification hopes as their fourth match in eight days ended in a first home loss to their bitter rivals since 2014.  Stand-in skipper Bruno Fernandes' deflected effort had got Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side off to a dream start, only for Diogo Jota to level with a smart flick after a penalty decision was overturned.  The equaliser came from a corner and United's soft underbelly from set-pieces was again exposed in first-half stoppage time, with Roberto Firmino heading home Trent Alexander-Arnold's excellent free-kick.  Liverpool pulled further ahead 72 seconds after half-time as a comedy of errors at the back ended with Firmino turning home his second of the evening.
