David De Gea produced a man-of-the-match performance as Manchester
United extended their winning run in the Premier League to six games
with a 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford.
First-half goals from Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata and a third after the
break from Robin van Persie saw Louis van Gaal's side close to within
five points of second-placed Manchester City in the table.
However, their defensive frailties were all too apparent throughout
the game and they were hugely indebted to De Gea, who produced no
fewer than six excellent saves in a superb performance.
Liverpool had no trouble creating chances against United's porous back
three, but defensive errors of their own and a mistake from the
officials for Mata's goal ensured they remain ninth in the table,
seven points adrift of the top four.
