Alisson 2/10 as Liverpool's title hopes suffer a hammer blow with home defeat to City

Liverpool's title defence continued to fall apart as they were humbled 4-1 by league leaders Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday.

Ilkay Gundogan was at the heart of the drama throughout with his brace more than making up for a shocking penalty miss. Mohamed Salah had managed to pull Jurgen Klopp's men back into the game from the spot himself, but between Gundogan's second, Raheem Sterling's header and Phil Foden's thunderbolt, it was the champions-elect who walked away with the victory off the back of two goalkeeping howlers from Alisson.
