In Sunday’s 2-2 draw between Liverpool and Manchester United, Wayne Rooney feels that keeper Caoimhin Kelleher was “fortunate” not to get sent off.

Following a thrilling match at Old Trafford where Jurgen Klopp’s team was forced to pay for their wastefulness, the Premier League title race took on yet another twist.

Before incredible goals from Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo gave United a startling lead in the second half, Luis Diaz gave the visitors the lead in the first half.

After Mohamed Salah converted a late penalty, Liverpool was able to rescue a point, but they were still unable to deny Arsenal the top spot.

The pivotal moment in the match was when Fernandes scored United’s first goal of the match with a spectacular long-range attempt from inside the center circle, taking advantage of a mistake made by Jarell Quansah.

While praising the United captain’s goal, Rooney pointed out that Kelleher was lucky not to see red as he attempted to tip the effort away from outside his area.

Rooney remarked on Premier League Productions, “The technique is fantastic – he almost stabs it in and gets the right amount of spin and just enough elevation.”

It’s an amazing finish because it’s such a difficult ability to execute for the first time as the ball comes across you.

“The goalie is really lucky not to get a hand on the ball because he would have received a red card!”

The championship race might very well come down to the final seven games of the season, with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal all separated by just one point.

Even though Rooney’s old team defeated Liverpool on Sunday, earning a crucial point, the 38-year-old still believes that Liverpool will win the league in Klopp’s last season.

Even though there are just seven games left, a lot will happen before the season is out. He continued, “I still think Liverpool will steal it.”

On Thursday, Liverpool will play Atalanta in the Europa League quarterfinal, while Arsenal and Manchester City will play very difficult Champions League matches against Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, respectively.
