Jesus and Aguero jubilate after their goals
With a 10-man squad after Sadio Mane of Liverpool was red carded in the first half, the match drifted in favor of the host Manchester City even though possession was 66 per cent to 34 per cent for the visitors.
With goals from Sergio Aguero, two from Gabriel Jesus, two from Leroy Sane who touched in his first and the fourth goal in the 74th minute, Man City was home and dry with solid three points.
Crestfallen Liverpool Players could not believe their eyes
The quality of deliveries from Manchester City, particularly down that left hand side, was no doubt superb when Sane again slotted in the fifth goal at full-time. This will be Jurgen Klopp’s heaviest defeat in all competitions as Liverpool manager AND his heaviest managerial defeat since September 2009 with Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich (1-5)
Red carded Mane plead for pardon
This has been a memorable day in many ways for Manchester City against opponents they have not enjoyed the best of results against in the past.
Indeed, even after today they have still only scored four or more against Liverpool on nine occasions and not at all since 1937.
Amazingly, the first time they did it – in 1906 – they lost, by 5 goals to four. Must have been an epic, said Simon Stone reporting at Etihad Stadium.
