Liverpool’s lead lasted just 10 minutes until Phil Foden took a pass from Gabriel Jesus and fired a low, angled finish across Alisson at the Kop end.

Anfield exploded in joy after 76 minutes when Salah slalomed his way beyond a succession of City defenders to power home a stunning finish.

City’s performance merited at least a point and secured it when De Bruyne’s shot took a deflection off Joel Matip to beat Alisson with nine minutes left.
