Kevin De Bruyne says 'excellent' Man City side should have beaten Liverpool in their breathless 2-2 draw and insists the result does NOT give them the edge in the Premier League title race

Kevin de Bruyne insisted Manchester City's 2-2 draw with second-placed Liverpool did not give them the edge in the title race despite holding a one-point advantage with seven games to play in the Premier League.

De Bruyne fired the champions into a fifth-minute lead at the Etihad Stadium but Diogo Jota levelled eight minutes later for the second-placed Reds.

Gabriel Jesus restored City's advantage before the break but Sadio Mane marked his 30th birthday with a second equaliser for Jurgen Klopp's men.
