United ended the day a point ahead of Chelsea who were beaten 1-2 by Aston Villa in Saturday's early kick-off. Liverpool's quest for a first top-flight title since 1990 could well be over after a 0-1 loss to Sunderland.
Didier Drogba scored for Chelsea (15th minute) after which Villa scored through Richard Dunne James Collins.
Liverpool were unfortunate as Darren Bent's shot deflect off a red beach ball in the Kops box and entered goal.
