Key to the win was man of the match Lisandro Martinez, who prevented an equaliser with a goalbound clearance and blocked three shots.
Martinez was named in the BBC team of the week, beginning to win over his doubters, who were quick to overreact negatively in any case.
Manchester United’s players appreciated Martinez’s display, praising his performance on Instagram.

Martinez has started all three Premier League games and looks set to play a key role in the season ahead.
Erik ten Hag knows him well from their time at Ajax, insisting on his signing, and after a slightly bumpy adjustment, Martinez seems to have found his feet.
This was his first win in a Manchester United shirt, and it was a special one, with United defeating bitter rivals Liverpool on home turf.
