Klopp trusted the same team (barring Sakho) that beat Chelsea earlier in the month with Roberto Firmino playing as the lone front man for Liverpool.
It worked a treat as the Reds raced into a 3-0 lead just after 30 minutes. Liverpool outplayed Man City, producing fantastic football that the City defenders couldn't cope with. Overall Klopp's back four was solid thoroughout apart from a mistake from Skrtel which handed the ball to Sergio Aguero who put city back in the game at 1-3. Skrtel made up for his mistake by smashing in the forth and rounding off a superb win for the Reds.
Dejan Lovren was a real plus point for Liverpool as he looked like a real leader at the back and defended brilliantly from start to finish.
My man of the match goes to Roberto Firmino, his creativity and link up with Coutinho was sublime; he scored and set up a goal for his fellow Brazilian.
