The corner comes to nothing.

City lose the ball on halfway and Liverpool counter at pace. Mohamed Salah finds Sadio Mane, but he's tackled well by a City defender.

A good interception by Liverpool defender Joel Matip to stop a long ball into Gabriel Jesus.

I agree to be honest. There's little incentive to try to stay on your feet in the modern game. I'm sure Sadio Mane could have tried to stay on his feet if he needed to.

Robin: Kyle Walker and Jordan Pickford are just such clueless players who are very rash with their decisions.

Andy: Anyone wonder why players go down? There it is, because the referees encourage you to! Two identical challenges, one not given to City one given to Liverpool, the difference?...shame on football

Adam: Sterling goes down there and that penalty never happens. It was a foul. And we wonder why players throw themselves to the floor?

Sadio Mane is causing Manchester City problems, not for the first time. He has Kyle Walker on toast. Walker deflects the ball into the path of Jordan Henderson, who drags a shot well wide from distance.

Brilliant penalty. Ederson was anticipating Mo Salah would smash it down the middle. The ball doesn't go in the corner he did go the right away, the anticipation of standing still, he didn't really go to the side I think he thought Salah would smash it down the middle.

It was a penalty because it wasn't a clear and obvious error.

It's a decent free-kick but it's just too far in front of everyone. Aymeric Laporte inches away.

Free-kick to City now, maybe 35 yards out on the wing. Kevin de Bruyne to take.

A goal had been coming - at either end as the game was so open. It is Liverpool who get it.

Liverpool delighted but Manchester City complaining bitterly that Raheem Sterling had been fouled before the move developed.

Liverpool's approach, as well as their formation, has been so aggressive.

Raheem Sterling wants a corner after England team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold blocks his cross but it's a goal-kick to Liverpool.

Kyle Walker has given away a penalty in two of his three home league appearances this season (also against Leicester).

That is Mohamed Salah's first Premier League goal in 13 away games against their 'big-six' rivals.

Seconds later Liverpool have a penalty. Sadio Mane cuts across Kyle Walker, who leaves a knee out and brings the Reds player down. Definite spot-kick.

Raheem Sterling wants a free-kick for City. He goes on a run, gets clipped and stumbles forward before going down just outside the box.

The referee isn't interested and VAR won't check for that.

A lot of quality on show in the opening 10 minutes but only one blocked shot to show for it.

Kyle Walker charges down the right for City and finds Kevin de Bruyne but there is Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson to close the Belgian down and win the ball.

Dennis: City defence are afraid of Liverpool attack in this early stage

Urban: 5 minutes in and already the quality of play is unbelievable!

A cente-back partnership of Joe Gomez and Joel Matip isn't bad for Liverpool all things considered.

Liverpool are unbeaten in 31 Premier League games when Matip has started, last losing in January 2018 vs Swansea.
