It was just before half-time. Dirk Kuyt had scored his second goal for Liverpool and the Merseyside club were heading into the dressing room with a 2-0 cushion.
For Manchester United, they had struggled to live with the home side in the opening 45 minutes - and things were about to get even worse.
Patrice Evra played a short pass to Nani on the United left wing. The Portuguese attacker - up against a makeshift right-back in Jamie Carragher - was licking his lips.
He finally had the chance to run at the Liverpool man, who had shifted to full-back after the home side were forced into a defensive reshuffle in the wake of an injury to Fabio Aurelio.
