The Reds were one victory away from two records but missed out after the 1-1 Old Trafford draw.

All but one game remains in round nine of the Premier League, that clash being Sheffield United vs Arsenal. The weekend saw the return of the English top-flight, with play resuming after the end of the recent international break.

Man City and Chelsea were the only top-six clubs to enjoy victories, with the Citizens beating Crystal Palace 2-0 and the Blues triumphing 1-0 over Newcastle. Elsewhere, Tottenham's woes continued as Spurs suffered a disappointing 1-1 draw with Watford, with a late VAR controversy saving them from a defeat.

All eyes were on Man United's clash with Liverpool, with many expecting Klopp's men to thrash the struggling Red Devils. Instead, it was the Merseyside giants that nearly lost, with a late Lallana equalizer earning them a point. Here are the standout stats from the weekend action.

Man Utd 1-1 Liverpool – the key figures from the Old Trafford draw

Many were expecting Liverpool to win, but the Reds were not able to pull off a victory. As a result, the Merseyside giants have now missed out on two records – the most consecutive wins in the Premier League (18) and most consecutive wins from the start of the season (9). They were just one win away from equaling those records.

The result means that Klopp is yet to win a single game at Old Trafford, a shocking statistic given the shift in power between Man United and Liverpool. Nevertheless, Van Dijk and Co. remain unbeaten.
