But despite the triumph, Rooney is frustrated with himself for denying Mata the opportunity to grab an Anfield hat-trick by taking the penalty awarded to the Red Devils in the final few moments – which was saved by Reds stopper Simon Mignolet.
Very happy tonight. Fans were amazing. @juanmata8 great goals. Should of let him take penalty. And the United fan in the kop. Brilliant
