Premier League takeaways: Captain McTominay, Dyche delight, Lockyer shock

It was a proud day for Manchester United's Scott McTominay when the Scottish midfielder was asked to captain the side against fierce rivals Liverpool.

After a desperate week that saw United humiliated 3-0 at home by Bournemouth then exit the Champions League after finishing bottom of their group, a trip to Merseyside seemed like a daunting prospect.

But Erik ten Hag's side showed some old-fashioned – and much-missed this season – grit and determination to earn a draw at Anfield, with McTominay leading his troops to an unlikely point.

“It’s the biggest honour of my career captaining this football club," said the 27-year-old, whose team had survived 34 Liverpool attempts on goal.

"I’ve been a young boy and come through the system here, and it’s one of the biggest honours of my career. I’m thankful to be in this position and I want to go for more.”
