Manchester City’s unbeaten run comes to an abrupt end at Anfield
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City came up short for the first time this season when they turned out against the quick-footed guile of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool. The Citizens lost 4-3 on the day, in an exhilarating fixture that brought a swift and abrupt end to Guardiola’s quest for Premier League invincibility.
Liverpool fans had every reason to be pleased when they woke up the following morning…

Both defences were deemed almost useless in light of their attacking opposition…
I like how we rewrite history to fit narratives. Liverpool vs City was hugely entertaining, but the level of defensive work was highly embarrassing. Almost each goal was embedded in mistakes. Yet we talk about ‘greatness’? It was fun. It certainly wasn’t great. #LIVMCI

…and whilst the Premier League title charge remains well and truly on for Guardiola…
I hope to see City lose again but is there any other team that can do what Liverpool did?

Now Manchester City must look towards maintaining their strong form in Europe…
Hard to think of another PL team that could replicate what Liverpool did to City yesterday. But while title race unaffected – will be interesting to see if anyone tries that approach in the Champions League latter stages.

Although Guardiola’s side fell fundamentally short for the first time this season…
Incredible to think some are trying to discredit Liverpool's win over City on account of all four goals resulting from mistakes. That's how pressing works – you force errors as to increase turnovers. A fundamental part of both Klopp and Guardiola's philosophy.

…no one can say that Liverpool vs Manchester City wasn’t a fantastic game of football for everybody involved…
Great game at Anfield. Liverpool incessant, attacking and fully deserved winners. Manchester City still so brave in possession even when behind. Kept going and even shredded a few nerves in the closing minutes. Top quality from first to last.
