#3 Manchester City 1-4 Liverpool – English Premier League
This was Klopp’s biggest test till date. After losing 1-2 to Crystal Palace at home, Klopp’s men bounced back in style. When the boys from Brazil, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino are on song, there is absolutely nothing that can stop Klopp’s men.
Liverpool took the lead in the 7th minute through a Mangala own goal after Coutinho cleverly pinched the ball from Sagna. Firmino powered his way past Demichelis brilliantly and produced a pinpoint pass to Coutinho, who tapped the ball into the net to double Liverpool’s lead.
A few minutes later it was Coutinho who returned the favour to Firmino this time, after a brilliant backheel pass from Emre Can set Coutinho free. Roberto Firmino, who was termed as a ‘flop’ by the English media then, finally scored for Liverpool after his £29m switch from Hoffenheim.
Aguero, who came back into the City side after missing 7 games due to injury, pulled one back just before half-time to give City a slight sniff. Again in the second half, City looked completely clueless against Klopp’s high pressing tactics.
Liverpool missed a host of chances before Skrtel, who has a good goal scoring record against Manchester City, burried the ball into the City net to make it 4-1 to Liverpool and confirm Liverpool’s victory.
The travelling scousers had their fair share of fun with the chant “Sterling, Sterling what’s the score?” being sung towards the end of the game.
