Manchester United marked the belated launch of a new era under Erik Ten Hag as they deservedly beat rivals Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford.
Having lost to Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford in their opening two games of the new campaign, the Red Devils looked transformed as they outfought and out-thought their arch-rivals to earn their first win under the Dutchman.
Liverpool had ran out 5-0 victors at this stadium en route to falling agonisingly short of a quadruple trophy success last season, but they were well short of those standards in losing out this time around.
Goals in either half from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford gave the revitalised hosts an advantage that they refused to surrender even after Mohamed Salah's late header set up a potentially grandstand finish.
And that has left Jurgen Klopp searching for answers to a poor start that has seen his side return two draws and a defeat.
