Liverpool 0-3 Man City PLAYER RATINGS: Who always made the wrong decision in the big moments? Who will Andoni Iraola be demanding more from? And who could be City's main man but for pending punishments?

It was a game that had so much more to it than a football match. Liverpool fans brought cheating banners, City fans brought bananas to mock their charges – but, ultimately, the Premier League leaders brought their A-game. Underneath all the off-field chaos, there was indeed a football match taking place. And it was a good one, until Ryan Gravenberch was sent off. Liverpool went blow-for-blow with Enzo Maresca 's City, whose future remains uncertain. 'Going down,' the Liverpool fans chanted – they may well be, but, for now, they are the league's best.
