Egypt international Mohamed Salah looked to have completed the rout when he collected Ederson's clearance and sent the ball sailing back over the stranded keeper's head, but City substitute Bernardo Silva grabbed one back and midfielder Ilkay Gundogan prodded home in stoppage-time. City's first league defeat in 23 games this season left them 15 points clear at the top, ahead of Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea. "Congratulations to Liverpool for the victory," City manager Pep Guardiola told Sky Sports. "The game was in our hands at 1-1 but our finishing was not good and then it went suddenly to 4-1.

"The reality is we lose the game, we have a week to recover and prepare for the Newcastle game. All credit to the opponent, we know how difficult it is against a Juergen Klopp team, so aggressive, at Anfield too. We did a good performance apart from a few minutes." Against the runaway leaders and without Brazilian Philippe Coutinho following his big-money move to Barcelona, Liverpool started strongly and their high pressing game was vindicated when Oxlade-Chamberlain surged forward and finished brilliantly. In an entertaining match which produced chances at both ends, City began to assert themselves before a deserved equaliser.Liverpool resist a late surge to triumph 4⃣-3⃣ and hand Manchester City their first defeat of the Premier League season. ???#UCL pic.twitter.com/8cJdBH5k3l
