Pep Guardiola’s side eased to the win over the then reigning Premier League champions, marking our first success at Liverpool’s home since 2003.

Ilkay Gundogan missed a first half penalty, but made amends with two goals after the break as he continued his fine scoring run.
Mohamed Salah’s penalty was sandwiched in between the German’s strikes – awarded after Ruben Dias tugged at the Egyptian forward’s shirt – with Raheem Sterling and Man of the Match Phil Foden completing the scoring for City.
An even contest swung heavily in Guardiola’s side’s favour after two mistakes from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.
With the scores locked at 1-1, the Brazilian misplaced two passes in three minutes, which City duly capitalised on as Gundogan and Sterling scored from close range to put us in a commanding position.
The brilliant Foden – who had a hand in both of Gundogan’s goals – lashed in a fourth to seal a memorable win with seven minutes remaining.
That season we would go on to lift our third Premier League title under Guardiola, our fifth overall and the first of a run of three successive top spots.
