Liverpool end Man City's unbeaten run

Fans at Anfield were treated to a seven goal thriller as Liverpool ended Manchester City's 22-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.

Liverpool scored three times in nine second-half minutes on the way to a dramatic 4-3 win over Manchester City on Sunday (Jan 14) which ended the Premier League leaders' unbeaten start to the season.

The Reds struck after less than 10 minutes when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain surged forward. Leroy Sane equalised five minutes before the interval, but Liverpool blew City away after halftime with Firmino chipping Ederson to restore the home side's lead and Sadio Mane striking from the edge of the box. Mohammed Salah completed the rout with another goal to make it 4-1 before substitute Bernardo Silva grabbed one back and midfielder Ilkay Gundogan prodded home in stoppage-time.
