FULL TIME: MANCHESTER CITY 4-0 LIVERPOOL
City thump the champions as Liverpool fall to a second league defeat of the season. It was a brilliant first half full of pace, energy and intricacy. Pep Guardiola’s side were ruthless in front of goal and ultimately that proved the difference.
De Bruyne, Sterling, Foden and an Oxlade-Chamberlain own goal all contributed to a one-sided drubbing.
I’m not sure Jurgen Klopp or Liverpool will care in the grand scheme of things. But a defeat is a defeat. A morale victory for those in blue.

90 + 2 min: Henderson goes in the book for a late challenge. I don’t think he’ll care. It’s been quite a forgettable second half.

82 min: Superb diagonal from Mahrez finds De Bruyne but he fluffs his attempt at a looping header and the ball bounces wide.
Should have done better there. A lot of ratings journalists probably taking their 10s down to a 9 for that.

81 min: CHANCE! Mahrez with a couple of stepovers and a rasping hit wide of Alisson’s right-hand post.
Coming forward at will.

79 min: Klopp looking somewhat desolate on the touchline. It’s a very eery, odd, strange night here.

Guardiola will certainly be hoping his side can bring this form into the Champions League. It’s been a sublime, clinical display from City.

77 min: Oh, a chance for Liverpool! Salah cuts inside and curls one tamely into the hands of Ederson.
About as good as it’s got for the visitors.
