It is a win that leaves Liverpool – who now have a 25-point lead at the top of the table – requiring solely two extra wins to tightly closed their first league title for 30 years and Manchester United solely three points in the back of fourth-placed Chelsea, after their first derby league double since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
