#2 Eric Bailly's imperious comeback
It is no secret that Bailly is United's best defender, but he hadn't started too many games recently. Given that, it might have been considered a gamble to start him in a game of this magnitude.
GAMBLE WHAT?... said Bailly, as he put in an absolutely majestic performance to thwart most things that Liverpool threw at him.
Bailly read the game wonderfully well, he was not afraid to put his body on the line, and he was fantastic in bringing a shaky Chris Smalling along with him.
The own goal was a little unfortunate for him as it was his only blemish on an otherwise flawless afternoon. It was a mistake that gave Liverpool life again, but again, Bailly put that mistake behind him to ensure that there was nothing Liverpool could do, as the Reds had ZERO shots on target in the second half.
There was even time for a little bit of showboating.
