LIVERPOOL: Amad Diallo struck a late equaliser as Manchester United made a mockery of their recent form to hold Premier League leaders Liverpool to a thrilling 2-2 draw at Anfield on Sunday. It looked as though Ruben Amorim’s United would go home empty-handed despite a vastly-improved display but Diallo swept in a shot in the 80th minute to earn his side a point. United had gone ahead in the 52nd minute when Lisandro Martinez powered home a ferocious shot from a tight angle. But an off-key Liverpool responded seven minutes later with Cody Gakpo curling home a stunning equaliser before Mohamed Salah put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot. After Diallo’s leveller both sides had chances to win in a frantic finale but it was United’s fans who went home happiest. Liverpool have 46 points from 19 games, six more than Arsenal, while United moved up a place to 13th with 23 points. Earlier, Raul Jimenez scored twice from the spot as Fulham held Ipswich Town to a 2-2 draw, extending the hosts’ unbeaten streak to eight league matches. Both teams converted penalties within two minutes as Jimenez cancelled out Sammie Szmodics’ first-half strike in the 69th minute, before Liam Delap restored the visitors’ lead after Timothy Castagne brought him down. Late on Saturday, an early goal from Arsenal teenager Ethan Nwaneri was cancelled out by a penalty from Joao Pedro as Brighton & Hove Albion held the misfiring Gunners to a 1-1 draw that dented the visitors’ title hopes.
