In one of the most anticipated matches of the EPL, Liverpool tore through a beleaguered  Manchester United as they won 0-3.

From manutd.com:

Some feisty early challenges from United players set the tone but Liverpool soon took a strangehold on the game, with Daniel Sturridge flashing wide and Joe Allen firing straight at David De Gea. It was no surprise when Steven Gerrard put the visitors ahead from the spot, while United’s only chance of note in the first half came when Simon Mignolet kept out a Wayne Rooney shot. Gerrard’s second spot-kick early in the second period was a real body blow and, though United increased the tempo thereafter, there were still precious few chances to shout about. Marouane Fellaini blasted over and Robin van Persie headed wide but Nemanja Vidic’s fourth red card against Liverpool, a second yellow for bringing down Sturridge in the box, effectively ended the game as a contest. And though Gerrard struck the post with his third penalty, Luis Suarez soon made it three to complete a miserable afternoon for United.
