Liverpool announced themselves as a legitimate title threat with a commanding 1-0 against City. Who were the top performers?

It wasn’t quite the rampaging game we thought it would be heading into the weekend.

Liverpool scored an early goal an essentially shut the game down from there.

The midfield was strong and sturdy, snapping into tackles all across the pitch, keeping Guardiola’s men at bay.

Manchester City did very little to create any chances of note, Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne, and Sergio Aguero were all held completely at bay.

Georginio Wijnaldum latched onto a floated cross from Adam Lallana in the 8th minute with Liverpool’s first real attack of the game.
