    Kevin de Bruyne: "We all stayed focused, we didn't give Liverpool much of a chance in the second half. We play a lot of small games in training so we are used to having an extra man but you just have to stay concentrated."

    More from Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "The referee was close to sending me to the stands so I had no power. I said to the fourth official that I didn't think it was a red card. Hopefully it is not a serious injury but whatever happens it is unlucky. The foot was not that high, the goalkeeper came out to head the ball.

    "Sadio feels very bad about it. It's hard for him. I have had a few 5-0 defeats in my life, that is not cool, but we were not that bad. Nobody will remember that."

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on Sky Sports: "It was one game at 11v11, it was equal, we both had chances, but the game was equal. Liverpool are so quick and fast.

    "After 10v11 it was a little bit easier for us, and we played the second half the way we wanted to. They didn't do well.

    "The game was open until the sending-off. Ederson, the doctor says there is nothing broken. He also saved us in the first half from Mohamed Salah.

    "Mane didn't see him, he was looking at the ball but the impact was huge. I don't know if it was a red card. I didn't speak about the decision when we had Kyle Walker sent off against Everton so I will not now."

    Liverpool

    Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on Sky Sports: "We had all we needed at 11v11. We had chances. The first goal is unnecessary, we were too laid back, not too smart.

    "But the decisive decision in the whole game was the red card. I don't think it was a red card, Sadio didn't see the goalkeeper. It's unlucky, an accident. The keeper comes out. You want to go for the ball. I hope people see it for what it is."

    Liverpool are a very good side but today, Man City were excellent.

    Even with 10 men you would expect a bit of fight from Liverpool. They looked like they were looking for a player with spark but there was nothing there.

    The rain has returned in epic proportions at the Etihad now as the players make their way off the field. The second half was a total non event for the neutral.

    Jurgen Klopp offers a handshake to the referee, who doesn't seem to see him and Klopp then retracts it and strides off to the away end. You don't leave Jurgen hanging.

    I have to say that is a great finish.

    Sane has so much time and space, wraps his foot around it and puts it in the top corner...

    Leroy Sane

    The pick of the bunch! An absolute beauty from Leroy Sane as he makes a point from the bench with his second goal of the day.

    Kyle Walker finds him in space maybe 25 yards out, he take a look and bends a left-footed curler right into the top corner.

    The quality of deliveries from Manchester City, particularly down that left hand side, have been fantastic today.
