FULL-TIME, MAN CITY 1-1 LIVERPOOL. A cracking contest, although City had a lot more of the attacking opportunities, and Liverpool kept out four or five likely goals from the blues. But it was quick, combative, and not short of skill from both sides. Liverpool have picked up the first point at the Etihad by any team for almost a year. Superb skills and effort from both teams, it felt like we were in for a winner for either side, but a point is perhaps the best result. Well, certainly Mikel Arteta will think so when his team plays later this eveningwith three points enough to take them top of the table. But as it stands it's City top and Liverpool second after an absorbing game from two classy sides. Hope you enjoyed following the action with us and enjoy the rest of your sporting weekend.
SAVED! Great work from the City attack, the ball comes back to Silva who has a crack but his shot on goal is blocked. CIty keep pressing and causing troubleFoden with a cross but it's between two lines of City attackers. City needed to be better there.
YELLOW CARD, MAN CITY, SILVA. The City man carded for mouthing off at the referee after Akanji went down clutching his head and City wanted to play on as they were on the attack. City with the free kick and they are working the ball around the pitch
YELLOW CARD, LIVERPOOL, MATIP! The Liverpool man catches Doku on the boot as the City man was weaving into the box so it's another free-kick for City Endo gets a touch on the ball and it's away for a cornerAkanji bouncing against Alisson who catches the ball but falls back into the net with the ball. Alisson very, very unhappy about being bumped, but he's pulled through it and clears with a free-kick.
