LONDON (Reuters) - Marcus Rashford scored twice as Manchester United beat their arch-rivals Liverpool 2-1 in a highly-charged derby on Saturday to consolidate second place in the Premier League table. With runaway leaders Manchester City on course for a third Premier League title, second place is the best the chasing pack can hope for and United moved five points ahead of Liverpool. Eric Bailly's bizarre own goal gave Liverpool hope in the second half, but United held on for a first victory over their North West rivals since January, 2016. We were worth the win," United manager Jose Mourinho said. Salomon Rondon gave West Brom the lead at The Hawthorns, but four Leicester goals without reply ensured West Brom stayed bottom, eight points from safety.
