Misc match information
Manchester United spring a quite absurd offside trap involving all their 10 outfield players apart from goalkeeper Gary Bailey, Liverpool's defender Alan Hansen proceeded to beat the entire 10 outfield Manchester United squad before running at goal & squaring to Kenny Dalglish to tap in, Dalglish was then guilty of one of the misses of the century when presented with an empty net, the Scot was then later flagged for offside sparing the blushes.
