Watching Liverpool’s four-pronged attack drive directly at Manchester City in the first half was like watching the Red Arrows.
Not everyone thought Jurgen Klopp could use Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota together. But Liverpool’s manager arrived at the Etihad Stadium with a plan to win this game in an adventurous way.
They were relentless in the opening exchanges, flying forward at will, while City’s Kevin De Bruyne was trying to get between the lines.
That was always going to pose Liverpool problems.
