Liverpool wrapped up the inaugural 'Legends of the North' series, beating Manchester United 2-1 at Anfield.
The Reds had won the first leg 3-1 at Old Trafford back in May, but fell behind in the early stages through Dimitar Berbatov, before goals from Mark Gonzalez and Florent Sinama Pongolle earned them the win
United took the lead in stunning fashion in the first half when Berbatov curled in a strike after a clever knock-down by Danny Pugh. The Bulgarian, without a moment's hesitation swerved the ball with the outside of his foot past the despairing Jerzy Dudek into the top corner.
The visitors had the better of the first half but after Liverpool made a bunch of changes at the break, the pendulum instantly swung the other way. Robbie Keane was one of the new arrivals and capitalised on a rare Jaap Stam error to find the ball in the penalty area. The Irishman then played a smart ball across the pass for fellow substitute Mark Gonzalez to level the scores.
Roy Keane came off the bench to a cacophony of boos from the Anfield crowd, but those jeers quickly turned into cheers as Florent Sinama Pongolle fired Liverpool into the lead with seven minutes to go
