SUB: Raheem Sterling - 6. The winger came on for Grealish in the 66th minute. He sent in a tempting cross that Liverpool scrambled to clear and made some good runs that came to nothing. AFP
LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Alisson Becker - 6. A couple of early moments evoked memories of his dreadful performance against City in February, but the Brazilian made important saves when needed. He was unlucky with the deflection on City’s second goal. Reuters
James Milner - 3. The 35-year-old could not handle Foden. He was very lucky not to be sent off after bringing down Silva while on a yellow card. He was taken off almost immediately afterward for Gomez. AFP
Joel Matip - 6. The centre-back got his body into a strange shape and deflected De Bruyne’s shot into the net. He defended stoutly and brought the ball out of defence capably. AFP
Virgil van Dijk - 6. The Dutchman handled City's ploy of playing Grealish down the middle with ease. He looked tentative early on but grew into the game. Getty Images
Andrew Robertson - 5. The Scot was kept occupied by Jesus and was unable to get upfield and produce the kind of crosses that Liverpool strikers feed off. EPA
Fabinho - 4. The Brazilian was far too casual and spurned a late chance when the goal was yawning in front of him. He saw the ball late but should have shot first time instead of taking a touch. He looked ponderous in midfield. Getty Images
Jordan Henderson - 4. The captain was poor in possession and did little to disrupt City’s pattern of play. A disappointing display. Getty Images
Curtis Jones - 4. The 20-year-old lacked his usual energy. His strength is running with the ball and he did little to trouble the City defence. Reuters
Sadio Mane - 7. The Senegalese was finding it hard to make an impact but kept moving and working. His goal was a reward for persistence as much as brilliance. Getty Images
Mohamed Salah - 9. It looked like nothing was coming off for the Egyptian but he can turn a game in a moment. His run and pass to Mane for the first goal showed his genius but he upstaged that with a wriggling run and clinical shot for the second. AFP
Diogo Jota - 5. The Portuguese laboured to get into the game and managed to test Ederson just once. Withdrawn in the 68th minute for Firmino. Getty Images
SUB: Roberto Firmino - 5. Joined the action with 22 minutes to go at Jota’s expense. He saw little of the ball and could not influence the game. AFP
SUB: Joe Gomez - 6. Sent on in the 78th minute after Milner surprisingly escaped a red card. The defence looked more solid for his presence. AFP
MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Ederson - 5. The Brazilian was excellent with his feet but should have done better with Salah’s goal. He also flapped at a cross that presented a late chance to Fabinho. Getty
Kyle Walker - 6. The Englishman kept a tight rein on Mane, whose goal came on the other side. He was good on the ball going forward, too. Getty Images
Ruben Dias - 6. The Portuguese made some important blocks and was composed in possession. A moment of confusion with Laporte opened up the space for Mane to score. Getty Images
Aymeric Laporte - 5. The 27-year-old should have done better for both Liverpool goals. A comfortable day turned ugly quickly for the centre-back. Reuters
Joao Cancelo - 4. The Portuguese was superb going forward but not so clever in defence. He needed to pay more attention to stopping the opposition because he neglected his responsibilities for both goals. Reuters
Rodri - 8. The Spaniard made a poor attempt to stop Salah for the first goal but this brilliant sliding challenge saved a point for his team. He set the tempo in midfield. Getty
Kevin De Bruyne - 7. The Belgian had a number of chances and should have scored with a diving header. Just as it looked as if he was having a sub-par outing he popped up to score the second equaliser. Getty Images
Bernardo Silva - 7. A composed and dynamic performance for most of the game. He left the Liverpool midfield chasing shadows but got sat down by Salah before the Egyptian striker’s goal. AFP
Gabriel Jesus - 7. The Brazilian set up Foden’s leveller and kept Robertson pinned down. He toiled away for the team in a less than glamorous role. AFP
Phil Foden - 9. The 21-year-old made life miserable for Milner. He showed his superstar credentials, scored City’s first equaliser and oozed class. Getty Images
Jack Grealish - 4. The 26-year-old was deployed up the middle to start the game and found it hard to get into the action. He was taken off with 24 minutes to go and replaced by Sterling. Getty Images
