Having ended Liverpool's Old Trafford hoodoo, Gerard Houllier's Reds went on to enjoy a brilliant run of form against United and claimed a fifth consecutive victory over Alex Ferguson's men with a reprise of the aforementioned 1-0 triumph that started it all.

That man Danny Murphy scored at the Stretford End for the second season running - looping a wonderful finish over Fabien Barthez during a thrilling finale.

His 85th-minute strike from Steven Gerrard's magnificent pass left United little time to respond and sent the travelling Reds into raptures.
