Jurgen Klopp has repeatedly rued his side's struggles defending set-pieces, only to see Wayne Rooney take advantage of hesitance to stun Anfield on Sunday

Manchester United had just one shot on target but that was all they needed on an ice-cold Sunday afternoon at Anfield.

It's yet another game in which Liverpool have been floored by a set-piece, with Wayne Rooney's winner coming from a corner routine following hesitance in the hosts defence.

No side in the Premier League have conceded more goals from corners, with Jurgen Klopp referencing that weakness weekly, and will no doubt be hugely frustrated after dominating long period of the game.

David de Gea was superb for United, while Liverpool - despite spending in excess of £180 million on attacking players in the past two summers - did not have enough of a threat in the final third.

The hosts were the better side for the bulk of the encounter, but United had the edge in both boxes when it mattered most.

A top-four place is probably too much to ask from the Anfield side, who'll view the cup competitions as their best chance of success this season.
