    Man City 1-3 Liverpool

    Sadio Mane scoops an effort into Zack Steffen's gloves as Liverpool attack for the first time in this half.

    The next goal is going to be huge.

  3. YELLOW CARDpublished at 48 mins

    Man City 1-3 Liverpool

    Naby Keita is booked for a foul on Fernandinho as Manchester City look to reduce the gap further.

    If Manchester City do come back it would go down as one of the most remarkable comebacks ever.

    Jack Grealish

    What a start to the second half!

    A great finish by Jack Grealish but great work by Gabriel Jesus, who turns his marker inside the area and then puts it on a plate for Grealish to smash it into the roof of the net.

    Exactly the start to the second half Pep Guardiola would have wanted.

    Manchester City looked down and out at 2-0 but that third from Sadio Mane surely finishes them off.

    Liverpool have over-ran a leggy looking City, who have simply not been at this today.

    Pep Guardiola proably would have been hoping to reach the break two down to have re-think. It requires rather more than that now.

    Extraordinary game. Thing with Manchester City, last week in the 2-2 they started fast. Liverpool, however, have been on it from the first minute and City didn't know what to do with that.

    So far in this match, one team has the depth of squad and the manager to utilise it to maximum effect, with sharp players aiming to hit the highest level. The other team is Manchester City.

    Dave, Dunblane

    Two very good goals and a keeper error for Liverpool against a weakened team they are doing well. They can't beat a full strength City. Thank you Atletico Madrid and the referee for spoiling what should have been a great Semi Final.

    Alan Shearer
    Former England striker on BBC One

    It's been a phenomenal performance from Liverpool.

    We said before the game how they might be a bit fresher from the changes that Jurgen had made in midweek and that has been the case.

    Right from the first whistle, they went after City, they closed them down, they won every first tackle, every second ball.

    Yes, they've had a hand from Zack Steffen but that aside they have dominated from start to finish.

    Do not take anything away from Liverpool for making City look so average, and they are bang average all the way through the team.

    The manager has not had a great day - he has chosen that team, chosen that style.

    Sublime from Liverpool.

    Shocking from Manchester City.

    A good shot from an angle but it is near post, and questions will be asked of the goalkeeper. From that angle you should not, and it is a cliché, but you do not get beaten at the near post.

    Absolute quality from Liverpool, it all started from a diagonal from Trent Alexander-Arnold.

    It's an outstanding volley, the shape on that, into the near post. It's textbook.

    For me, the keeper should take another step but take nothing away from that finish.

    Red-hot Liverpool, just too good for City.

    GOAL - Man City 0-3 Liverpoolpublished at 16:15 British Summer Time 16 April 2022

    Sadio Mane

    Is that the knockout blow?

    Liverpool have been outstanding this half - the complete opposite of Manchester City - and they get a deserved third with wonderfully worked ball.

    The Reds play quick passes on the edge of the area before the ball is poked out wide to Sadio Mane, who volleys in beautifully.

    Liverpool have one foot in the FA Cup final!

    Luis Diaz's quick movement is drawing fouls from Manchester City players and he wins a free kick on the left side of the box. Trent Alexander-Arnold swings the ball in but John Stones heads away. Good header.

    It is rather wonderful to see how hard this Liverpool team are working.

    Gabriel Jesus has the ball inside the Liverpool area after a Manchester City free kick, he tries to turn in possession but is quickly crowded out by Liverpool players.

    It's the numbers Liverpool are quickly getting back behind the ball to shut the door on City.

    Jurgen Klopp said this would be like a boxing match and City are certainly on the ropes.

    Whether it's a tactical change or a massive personnel change City need to do something at half-time.
