Manchester United will finish the season unbeaten against Liverpool after another "silly" game at Old Trafford finished in a two-all draw. After an hour, Erik Ten Hag's men had achieved an xG of 0.01, yet they were level at 1-1, Bruno's magnificent 40-yard effort cancelling out the far-post finish from Luis Diaz at a corner.

If that wasn't bad enough, they held the lead going into the 99th minute in both games.If Brentford was bad, this was an astonishing evening at Stamford Bridge.
