Liverpool and Man City share spoils after thriller

Manchester City came from behind twice to earn a thrilling 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Action: All four goals came in a stunning second-half, but in the first period the visitors dominated and Liverpool needed their goalkeeper Alisson to produce fine saves to twice deny Foden.

The hosts came with a different spirit in the second-half and took the lead when Sadio Mane slotted home after being played through by Salah who skipped past João Cancelo before splitting open the City defence.

Phil Foden reduced the deficit when the England international fired a low strike into the bottom corner. 

Mohamed Salah again gave Liverpool the lead, after a superb solo goal where he easily got past three defenders and slotted the ball over Ederson.

Premier League champions levelled again through Kevin De Bruyne, when his shot took a deflection off Joel Matip to beat Alisson with nine minutes from time.

Big Picture: With this result, Liverpool remain undefeated in the Premier League this season, but they are now sitting second, one point behind leaders Chelsea.

The Citizens sit third, two points behind Chelsea, along with Man Utd, Everton and Brighton.

After the international break, Liverpool go to Watford for a 12.30pm kick-off on Saturday October 16, while Man City will pick up again at home to Burnley on the same day at 3pm.

Memorable Moment: Salah's goal. Another incredible moment by the Egyptian winger after getting past three City players around him. He skipped past them all, beat another two players and fired home from a tight angle! Goal of the season contender right there...

xG: Liverpool (1.10) 2-2 (0.96) Man City
