#3. Sane’s moment of brilliance
Leroy Sane
For much of the match Sane looked like the most disappointing City player on the field, but he showed his worth with a neatly taken goal in the 72nd minute of the game. The timing of the goal was important as Liverpool had no time to make any further changes or alter their playing style.
Sane was guilty of misplacing a few passes for Aguero and Raheem Sterling, some of which looked pretty routine for a player of his class. But the goal showed exactly what he is capable of in crucial moments of the game.
His pace was always going to be a threat for Lovren and co to handle, but his finishing is what has made him an exciting prospect in the league.
Even Trent Alexander-Arnold, who himself is known for his pace, found it difficult to keep Sane quiet. Mahrez had been taking up Sane’s place in many previous matches, but it looks like Sane could now be the trusted soldier in City’s defence of their title.
