Liverpool 0-0 Manchester City: Hits and Flops

#4 Hit: Jordan Henderson

Henderson did very well to frustrate City's creativity

He's the captain of Liverpool, yet hardly in the news or the headlines, for such is the attacking riches in this side. But Henderson put up a strong show today to become one of the bright spots across the entire field. The skipper threw his weight in the defence by dropping deep and providing a protective cover to the back four.

He thwarted both Aguero and Bernardo Silva, winning and conceding a foul, respectively. Henderson was so immense at the back that he made three tackles and clearances, whilst also jumping to make two interceptions to nip the danger in the bud.

And that's not all, the 28-year old also tried to add impetus to the attack by sending two floating crosses at two different points in the game. He moved the ball around quickly and also laid a key pass, something that neither of Firmino, Salah or Mane, managed to do today.
