Liverpool 4-3 Manchester City: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mo Salah all on target as Reds hold on despite late surge

Daily Mail | January 14, 2018

Three goals, and one off the woodwork.

In a phenomenal eight minutes midway through the second-half at Anfield on Sunday, Liverpool inflicted more damage on Manchester City and the Pep Guardiola way than the rest of their Premier League rivals put together this season.

They scored and scored and scored again. They could have scored more, in fact, had Sadio Mane not driven a curling shot against the left post after 61 minutes.
