#3 Leroy Sane was scary good on the night
This was probably Leroy Sane's most rounded performances in a City shirt as he gave it his all for the entirety of the game, flying forward at every opportunity and also helping out in defense, whenever it was needed of him. He tracked down the runs of Trent Alexander Arnold on the flank, helping out Laporte, who was playing out of position at left-back to cover for the injured Benjamin Mendy.
Sane recovered the ball for his team six times, completed two dribbles, two tackles, and scored with his solitary shot on goal. His strike tonight takes him to seven league goals for the year, just three short of the 10 goals he scored in all of last season.
The German winger was one of the best players on the pitch against Liverpool and looked more threatening. It was his frightening turn of pace that unsettled Liverpool's watertight defense, who hadn't conceded more than one goal in the league this season.
