Manchester United enhanced their push for the Premier League title as they beat rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford, 2-1.
A dominant United went ahead when some intricate passing led to Robin Van Persie converting Patrice Evra’s cross.
Striker Robin Van Persie came out top in the battle of the Premier League’s top scorers as Manchester United emerged from a tricky test unscathed against arch-rivals Liverpool.
The Holland international continued his remarkable scoring spree with a close-range effort in the first half which was doubled after the break by Nemanja Vidic.
The statistics now adding up for the Dutch are startling. It was his 65th goal in 77 league matches, his 10th in the past 10 games, his fifth in five against Liverpool (three coming for Arsenal and the other at Anfield earlier in the season) and his 20th of the campaign.
