Liverpool may have been on the end of a 3-0 defeat at Manchester City, but did a pivotal moment dramatically alter the course of the game?

The Premier League champions were 1-0 down at the time following Erling Haaland's opener just before the half-hour mark.

However, the Reds thought they had equalised in the 38th minute when captain Virgil van Dijk headed home.

The Netherlands centre-back escaped the attentions of Matheus Nunes and met Mohamed Salah's inswinging corner just outside the six-yard box.

Van Dijk planted a powerful header beyond the dive of City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and ran off celebration.
