Riyad Mahrez missed an 85th-minute penalty as the Premier League's top two Manchester City and Liverpool drew 0-0 at Anfield. The visitors had three previous claims for a spot-kick before Virgil van Dijk's challenge on substitute Leroy Sane eventually resulted in one, but £60million summer signing Mahrez blazed over. It resulted in the first goalless draw between these two at Anfield since 1986. Here, Sportsmail's DOMINIC KING rates both sides.
