Liverpool had no solutions for the myriad problems Manchester City served them on Saturday afternoon as they overturned the visitors in a 4-0 win that looked the model of a classy team performance.
Although the Reds were first off the mark, with Mohamed Salah's gutsy strike imbuing Jurgen Klopp's side with confidence, Julian Alvarez's goal just before the half-hour mark raised the alarm.
After half time, City swept Jurgen Klopp's players aside as Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, and Jack Grealish added to their tally, and Liverpool's near-eight year hunt for a Premier League win at the Etihad rolls on.
