Nothing could separate the Premier League's top two as they played out a pulsating draw at Etihad Stadium to keep the title race on a knife's edge.
Manchester City came out firing as Kevin de Bruyne gave them an early lead with a thumping strike, which deflected off defender Joel Matip, moments after Alisson had denied Raheem Sterling from close range.
Liverpool responded when Diogo Jota put away Trent Alexander-Arnold's lay-off but they faced a period of relentless pressure from City in the first half.
Gabriel Jesus eventually regained City's lead before the break but it was all square again when Sadio Mane slotted home 46 seconds into the restart.
