PLAYER RATINGS: Joe Gomez steps up in defence, Joao Cancelo's error proves costly and Erling Haaland struggles to make an impact as Liverpool beat Man City to end champions' unbeaten run

Liverpool defeated Manchester City 1-0 at Anfield this afternoon thanks to Mo Salah's slick second half finish.

In an intense tactical battle, the Egyptian pounced on an error from Joao Cancelo to run through and slot past Ederson in a feisty affair that saw Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp sent off.

The result ends City's unbeaten start to the Premier League season, and gives Liverpool a much-needed boost after a poor run of form.

Sportsmail's Jack Gaughan rated both teams' players after the game.
