LONDON: Manchester United delivered a potentially fatal blow to Manchester City's Premier League title hopes on Saturday after leaders Liverpool secured the Christmas number one spot with victory against Bournemouth.

But the match was overshadowed by unsavoury incidents, with United midfielder Fred hit by objects thrown from the crowd and footage on social media appearing to show a City fan making monkey chants. "We'll remember this one. We look so dangerous when we get the ball and go forward against arguably the best team in the world," Solskjaer told the BBC.

"We have to think about what we have to do and think about the next game," he told Sky Sports."Doesn't matter if six, eight or 14 points we have to continue. We are a fantastic team." Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain opened the scoring for the European champions and Liverpool made it 2-0 just before the break when Naby Keita played a fine one-two with Mohamed Salah and finished from close range, with Keita turning provider for Salah in the 54th minute.
