Rooney earns Man Utd win at Liverpool

Wayne Rooney scored his first goal at Liverpool since 2005 to help Manchester United move back within two points of the Premier League top four.

Liverpool had more chances in a dour encounter, with Emre Can's shot being superbly tipped away by David de Gea.

But they were made to pay when Rooney rifled in from six yards after Marouane Fellaini's header hit the bar.

The visitors, who are fifth, had not managed a single shot on target until the England captain's winner.

Liverpool stay in ninth position in the top-flight table, seven points behind rivals United.
