5 matches where Manchester United dominated Liverpool

#1: Manchester United 4-0 Liverpool (5th April, 2003)

United completed a league double over Liverpool for the first time in six seasons

Among the most famous games in the derby folklore, this game seldom gets the recognition compared to Liverpool's 4-1 thrashing of United at Old Trafford.

One of the many games with Ginger Prince Paul Scholes at the height of his powers, the match saw the Englishman majestically controlling the game from the midfield. He won the first penalty for United which was stuck past Jerzy Dudek with ease by Dutchman Rudd Van Nistelrooy.

With Liverpool down to ten men after skipper Sami Hyppia's dismissal following the foul, United further inflicted pain on the Merseysiders. It was after the hour mark when Van Nistelrooy drilled in his second penalty.

United added a third through Ryan Giggs much to Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier's displeasure, on a David Beckham pass. 'Baby-faced assassin' Ole Gunnar Solksjaer completed the win with a last-minute strike as United completed a league double over their fierce rivals for the first time in six seasons.
