Mark Halsey shows the red card to Liverpool midfielder Jonjo Shelvey after his challenge on Jonny Evans

Shelvey's card Marked

"Halsey is one of the good guys, an official who referees with a smile on his face and errs on the side of leniency rather than flourishing cards left, right and centre. But Jonjo Shelvey simply left him with no option..."

Blog: Halsey had no options

It was a shame that a few taunts and chants soured things after the game but what I will remember about the day is a card left by United fans on a floral tribute near the Hillsborough memorial. It described most United fans as a "silent majority" who shared the pain of the families of the 96. And that really is what matters most after a memorable afternoon.
