Reds kick out Red Devils
Dirk Kuyt smashed home a late, late winner to knock Manchester United out of the FA Cup and send Anfield into raptures after a pulsating fourth-round tie.
English football's two most successful teams didn't disappoint in a game that threatened to be a sideshow to the race row involving Patrice Evra, who captained United, and Luis Suarez, who sat in the stands.
Daniel Agger gave Liverpool the lead when he met a Steven Gerrard corner to power home beyond a stranded, and thoroughly unconvincing David de Gea.
However before half-time, and after Antonio Valencia had struck the post, Park Ji-sung fired the visitors back on level terms.
Chances came and went in the second half before a simple back-to-front hoof by Pepe Reina was flicked on by Andy Carroll to Kuyt, who lashed the finish beyond De Gea.
