Manchester City have won the moments.

Even the VAR decisions aside, they recognised there was a critical period just before half-time where Liverpool were frustrated, rattled and on the ropes.

That was the time to press forward and put their foot on the away side’s throat. Yes, they got a bit lucky with the deflection but their awareness of the match situation meant they deserved it.

At 1-0, Liverpool are right in it. They face a tougher climb up the mountain towards a positive result now.
