Liverpool have gone top of the English Premiership football table after a 1-nil victory over Manchester United at Anfield.
On a day when Liverpool celebrated 100 years since the birth of legendary former manager Bill Shankly, Daniel Sturridge lifted the crowd further when he scored in the fourth minute.
Champions United, without striker Wayne Rooney after a training-ground incident left him with a bad cut on his forehead, rarely threatened to equalise despite dominating possession in the second half.
The result left Liverpool as the only team to win all three of their opening games, they have 9 points, 2 more than Chelsea.
Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-nil to go 4th and Swansea beat West Brom 2-nil.
