Henderson 8/10, Salah 7/10 as Liverpool settle for draw with City

Liverpool enjoyed an electric start against title rivals Manchester City, but Jurgen Klopp's men were forced to settle for a point after a 1-1 draw.

Having lost heavily on their last two visits to the Etihad Stadium, Liverpool started positively and attacked in numbers. Mohamed Salah gave the visitors a deserved lead from the penalty spot after Kyle Walker brought down Sadio Mane in the box, and the Reds continued to dominate until Kevin De Bruyne was moved further up the pitch.

City pulled level when Gabriel Jesus turned on a sixpence at Trent Alexander-Arnold's expense inside the area, the Brazilian poking the ball home with an expert finish.
