Extended action from the clash with Liverpool at Anfield...

It was always going to be a tough hurdle - as trips to Anfield so often are.

Yet, City showed admirable sticking power, despite a whirlwind start by the home side.

Cody Gapko scored on 12 minutes and a mixture of near-misses and the woodwork saw the Blues have to ride out intense pressure.

After the break, City’s movement and passing began to pin Liverpool back before Luis Diaz won a late penalty that Mo Salah dispatched to double Liverpool’s lead.
