Usually, when Manchester City lose or draw, it means that they have been prevented from creating too many chances or a staunch opposition has managed to stifle their swift passing style. In this case, though, they registered 18 shots, of which only three were on target.

Although impressive in its own right, it doesn't tell the full story because they had massive chances falling to the likes of Sergio Aguero, who cannot seem to buy a goal at Anfield and Raheem Sterling who had a good game but was frustrated in front of goal.

The defending champions failed to make the best of the chances they did create and when you do that against a team of Liverpool's calibre, it often does not go unpunished. In this case, the Reds were just as ruthless as they were expected to be.

It was a frustrating night for Kevin De Bruyne in particular who worked tirelessly to create, but was unable to make any breakthroughs.
