City were hosting Premier League leaders Liverpool at the Etihad.
Defeat would send Liverpool 10 points clear while victory would leave City just four points behind - a huge swing one way or the other - and a game City had to win.

But the whole ball hadn’t crossed the line - it needed 1.12cm more to have done so - and the score remained 0-0.

Fine margins indeed.
