Liverpool were the guests of Manchester United at Old Trafford stadium on Sunday 16th March 2014.
Prior to the match, the Reds were 11 points ahead of the hosts after 28 matches in the English premier league.
David Moyes was disillusioned after another frustrating 90 minutes at the 'theatre of dreams'. The home team managed to curtail the rampaging Merseyside giants in the opening half hour of the game.
Daniel Sturridge had about two half chances during that period, but he failed to make them count. The former Chelsea playrr delivered a nice cross that landed on the feet of Luis Suarez, but Rafael da Silva handled the ball in the penalty area.
Need divine help?
Gerrard stepped up to convert the spot kick. In the second half, Joe Allen won another penalty in the 48th minute that Gerrard made it 2-0. Liverpool dominated their hosts with their sleek and incisive moves.
Luis Suarez scored his 25th goal of the league in the 84th minute.
Manchester United have also lost to West Bromwich Albion, Newcastle, Everton, Tottenham and now Liverpool.
Brendan Rodgers has really transformed Liverpool to serious title cobtenders.
Indeed, the nightmare at Manchester United is far from over. The sacking of David Moyes and a thorough rebuilding process needs to be done.
