Liverpool 0-0 City: Match gallery

Manchester City regained top spot in the Premier League after securing a hard-fought goalless draw at Liverpool.

In the process, the Blues became the first team in the Premier League to prevent Liverpool scoring this season.

And City could have secured victory after being awarded an 86th minute penalty when substitute Leroy Sane was brought down in the box. However, Riyad Mahrez was off target from the spot-kick.

The point moved the Blues back into top spot on goal difference with the Premier League now taking a two-week break for the international window.

Here’s a selection of the best of the images…
