LIVERPOOL were frustrated in their attempts to get back in the title race as they were held to a goalless draw by Manchester United.

Jurgen Klopp's side were the better team, but they were unable to find a way past a United side sent out to defend by Jose Mourinho.

Joel Matip thought he had scored the opening goal in the first half - only to be enied by a brilliant David De Gea save.

And then Emre Can wasted a glorious chance to fire Liverpool into the lead when he volleyed high and wide with the goal at his mercy.

United were a shadow of the attacking force who have taken the Premier League by storm this season.

Romelu Lukaku was kept quiet by Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip for most of the match as Klopp's defenders proved they are good enough in the big matches.
