Liverpool vs Manchester United - not an exciting match

The match was not pleasing to the eye of the spectator.
After the first and only goal by Sturridge ( Liverpool ) the game became a "fouling bout" - very physical and not enough of good football.
Its a shame that two top sides of the English Premier League can produce so much of "nothing".
The ball was in the midfield most of the time and there were very few scoring chances.
The match celebrated the great Bill Shankly's centenary year - the tribute was perhaps the only emotional moment in the whole match.
The Sturridge goal was intriguing. I will argue that he was trying to get out of the way whereas others will argue it was a clever back deflection.
Whatever the case, only one goal in such a highly charged game short changed the spectators.
