Mohamed Salah was the brightest jewel in Liverpool’s gleaming crown while Nathan Aké was City’s best
Only had one save to make all game, when Kevin De Bruyne pounced on a Van Dijk slip, and delivered to keep Liverpool’s 11th clean sheet of the season.A sublime pass for the opening goal was the icing on a creative and convincing return. Dominated Nunes but more problems with Doku.Softened the blow of Ibrahima Konaté’s absence with an assured defensive display. Another valuable contribution by a true team player.
Unlucky with one header against a post but should have buried his next attempt. Contained Haaland comfortably and got away with his one slip.His drive and energy exposed the age gap between the two central midfields. Coolness under pressure also enabled Liverpool to win that battle.Such an important cog in Slot’s machine. A tigerish, selfless display with flashes of ingenuity that connects the whole system.Created one and scored one as he once again drove Liverpool’s title charge.
Part of a central midfield duo that was constantly overrun. Lost the ball cheaply and unable to create in the periods when City did exert pressure.Age appears to be catching up with the midfielder on this evidence. Slow, sloppy in possession and withdrawn after 57 minutes.Stationed out on the right as Guardiola started without wingers and looked lost. Swamped by Robertson and Gakpo. No impact.Suffered a knee injury early on and struggled throughout.
