But the Anfield side clear the threat to goal. 86: Man Utd are pushing for the equaliser in a tense and exciting climax to the game.
84: Man Utd see a second penalty appeal of the game denied when Henchoz appears to handle a Van Nistelrooy shot. 83: Substitution - Jamie Carragher comes on for Riise. 81: Westerveld again comes to Liverpool's rescue and keeps out a rasping driven shot by Keane with a save at full stretch. 81: Biscan and Owen combine and the former tries a left-foot curling effort which is comfortably high. 79: Man Utd pass the ball along the edge of the Liverpool area before Scholes' shot is deflected out for a corner by Riise. 71: Substitution - Igor Biscan and Patrick Berger replace Barmby and Murphy. 68: Scholes produces some sublime work in the Liverpool box and takes a shot at goal. But Westerveld is equal to the task. 65: Substitution - Dwight Yorke comes on for Nicky Butt. 63: Beckham almost pulls Man Utd level with an outswinging long range shot. 62: Liverpool fail to clear a Giggs cross and the ball falls to Beckham whose first time strike goes over. 50: Van Nistelrooy rewards Man Utd's effort with an impressively taken goal. He latches onto a pass by Ryan Giggs and rounds Westerveld before slotting in to finish off a slick Man Utd move with aplomb. Liverpool 2-1 Man Utd 48: Man Utd's attacking start to the second-half almost sees them pull one back with their third chance in as many minutes.
