Manchester City's poor rearguard to blame in loss to Liverpool

Manchester City fell nine points behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race as they lost 3-1 to the European champions at Anfield. Fabinho and Mohamed Salah both scored within a hectic first 15 minutes, with both goals being called into question by City who were disappointed by VAR's lack of intervention.

Sadio Mane headed in a third early in the second half, and while Bernardo Silva did give Pep Guardiola's men hope, it wasn't enough to prevent a third league loss of the season.
