The victory, sealed with goals from Fabinho, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, leaves unbeaten Liverpool on 34 points from 12 games, eight ahead of Leicester City and Chelsea, and nine in front of Pep Guardiola's fourth-placed City. Anfield exploded when Liverpool grabbed a sixth-minute lead with a thundering drive from Brazilian Fabinho, who pounced on a poor clearance from Ilkay Gundogan and blasted past Claudio Bravo from over 20m out. Liverpool were on top physically and their pressing stopped City from establishing their usual possession game but still they managed to carve out some openings. Jordan Henderson superbly worked space on the right flank and whipped in a cross which Mane dived to head home at the back post. City have not won at Anfield in the league since May, 2003 - their only win at Liverpool in 38 years, but manager Pep Guardiola took positives from Sunday's performance.
