Read the full Liverpool player ratings below:
GK) Simon Mignolet – 6/10
City scored from the only shot on target, but the Belgian swept up well at the back.
RCB) Emre Can – 8/10
Outstanding performance, both defensively and when rampaging forward as the Reds chased a winner.
CB) Martin Skrtel – 7/10
Marshalled the troops well at the back, and barely gave the City strikers a sniff all day.
LCB) Dejan Lovren – 6/10
A couple of shaky moments, but a good afternoon’s work considering the pressure he was under.

Opened the door for all Liverpool’s best moves. Worked hard and controlled the game.
CM) Jordan Henderson – 8/10
Scored a brilliant individual goal and dominated the game throughout.
RM) Lazar Markovic – 6/10 (Sturridge – 76′)
Tracked back well and did plenty of good work down the right hand side, but looked tired late on.
LM) Alberto Moreno – 7/10 (Toure – 83′)
Another fine performance from the Spaniard, putting his last game against City behind him.
AM) Adam Lallana – 7/10
One of his best performances in a Liverpool shirt – unlucky not to score having had two ruled out for offside.
AM) Philippe Coutinho – 9/10
Truly sensational goal and performance, he was in a simply unstoppable mood today.
ST) Raheem Sterling – 7/10
Tireless runner up front and gave Vincent Kompany a nightmare at the back.

2) Kolo Toure – 6/10 – Provided the extra security late on.
