Liverpool booked their place for Friday’s Europa league quarter finals draw at the headquarters of UEFA in Nyon with a 3-1 aggregate score after drawing 1-1 against Manchester United.
The Reds needed to avoid a heavy defeat after winning the first leg by 2-0 and indeed led by manager, Jurgen Klopp his boys delivered displaying a tactically disciplined performance.
When Anthony Martial scored from the spot kick after he had cleaned himself up looked like the old United was alive with 5-minutes left on the clock to half time but Liverpool who started the game slowly had grown into it and Coutinho justified that with a lovely dribble pass defender, Guillermo Varela who looked on helplessly as the on rushing David De Gea was chipped into the far corner by the Brazilian.
Louis Van Gaal as always stayed glued to his seat and threw in all his gauntlet but to no avail as Liverpool progressed to the 1/8th stage.
