And Express Sport has player ratings following Man City vs Liverpool.
Alisson: 6
Will be disappointed to be beaten at near post but no blame
Alexander-Arnold: 6
Struggled a bit early but came into game more when Fabinho came on
Lovren: 3
Booked. Not his best night and slightly at fault for first half goal
Van Dijk: 8
Colossal again in leading his team and powerful display at heart
Robertson: 7
Another who struggled early but when Reds changed formation came into it
Wijnaldum: 6
Booked. Actually looked a little tired in early exchanges but came into it well
Henderson: 7
Big display at heart of midfield and kept side in it when they struggled
Milner: 6
Not an easy night in ferocious pace, but ran his heart out
Salah: 6
Not a night for silky skills but you could tell City feared him
Firmino: 7
Movement was outstanding and deserved his goal for work rate
Mane: 6
Not his best at all, seemed to get too caught up in the frenzy of it
Man City win over Liverpool is 'massive' says Gray
Jurgen Klopp was vocal after the game, with the Liverpool boss revealing the Reds were unlucky to lose.
"It was a big pressure. Very intense game. We were unlucky in our finishing moments. Unluckier than City I would say,” he said.
"Sane scores and the situation with Sadio [Mane] when he hit the post. They had periods where they dominated the game and everybody felt the intensity.
"But we came back and had big chances. It is always like this. You have to score in those moments. When Aguero scores there is no angle. In similar situations we didn't score.
"It was not our or City's best game because we both made it difficult for the other team.
"I have already said to the boys this is OK. We lost it but it will happen. Tonight it is not nice but it is not the biggest problem.
"Our expectations are high. We can play better. On the other side it was an intense game. You have to take the game how it is.
"You can't always dominate it. With a bit more luck we could have got 2-2, which would be perfect for us."
