David De Gea -

A nervy and inauspicious return to the spotlight for the Spaniard

5

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Patrice Evra -

Closed his ears to abuse and played tidily shame he didn't get foot to ball for winner

7

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Jonny Evans -

Like defensive partner it wasn't easy but never buckled

7

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Rafael -

Excellent first half. One stonking tackle on Gerrard and brilliant defensive work

9

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Chris Smalling -

Tough task with Carroll on his game but stuck to it

7

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Antonio Valencia -

Dangerous first 45 minutes but Reds just couldn't get ball to him in second

7

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Michael Carrick -

Unusually a touch sloppy for him at times. Not usual calm self

6

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Paul Scholes -

Rolled back years in excellent first half but dropped off in second

8

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Ryan Giggs -

Misplaced too many passes and didn't really get into Liverpool's ribs

6

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Park Ji-Sung -

Rifled in great leveller and covered every inch of the Anfield pitch

8

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Danny Welbeck -

Lone man up front for lot of time but he never lost heart

7

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Substitutes

Javier Hernandez -

(sub Scholes 76) Unable to make difference

6

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Dimitar Berbatov -

(sub Giggs 90) little time for impact
