Liverpool have hit Manchester City hard and fast at Anfield. The home team were 1-0 up after just 5 minutes as Raheem Sterling – who has had an excellent first half – showed consummate composure to slot the ball as sprawling Manchester City bodies spread at his feet. And it was 2-0 on 25 when Martin Skrtel scored a glancing header from a Steven Gerrard cross.

To make matters worse for City, Yaya Toure has limped off with an injury.

1-0 6 mins, Sterling
