Jurgen Klopp's side started the game looking to impose themselves on the visitors and make the most of a raucous Anfield atmosphere. But despite early encouragement, it was the visitors that were by far the better team in the first half.

Phil Foden was especially a threat down Liverpool's right, with Milner finding himself on a yellow after one of several times Foden threatened to go past the make-shift Reds right-back.

Foden had a shout for a penalty turned down after being brought down by Milner at the edge of the box. He then saw an effort saved well by Alisson after Liverpool's midfield was picked apart by Bernardo Silva.

Kevin de Bruyne then headed over the crossbar before Alisson made a goal-saving contribution by denying Foden going through on goal after Milner was caught out by a long-ball by Ederson as the two sides found themselves level at the break.

Mohamed Salah put Liverpool back on top after scoring an exceptional goal that saw him beat numerous City defenders before powering the ball across Ederson and into the back of the net, but City offered a response a little over five minutes later.

The ball fell to De Bruyne at the edge of the box, with the Belgian's curling effort hitting Joel Matip and beating Alisson before crashing into the back of the net to make it 2-2.
