Report: Liverpool 2-1 Manchester City


MANCHESTER CITY'S title hopes are hanging by a thread after losing 2-1 against Liverpool at Anfield. 

 Phillipe Coutinho scored the winner for the second successive season against City at Anfield after Edin Dzeko cancelled out Jordan Henderson's super opener.

The result leaves City 5 points behind Chelsea having played a game more than there tittle rivals. For Liverpool it means they are top of the Premier League form table and unbeaten in 2015 they move up to 5th above Southampton and only only 1 point behind Arsenal who are in action against Everton later today and 2 behind Manchester United.

Liverpool, who only returned from Turkey at 4.30 on Friday morning showed no signs on tiredness. However it was Coutinho who didn't play in Turkey that was at the heart of the Liverpool attack.

The sharpness of Coutinho helped Liverpool take the lead in the 11th minute when he stole the ball of Vincent Kompany on the halfway line Raheem Sterling then slipped the ball out to Jordan Henderson.

Henderson the stand in skipper for the injured Steven Gerrard then cut inside to his favoured right foot and curled home a stunning shot into the top right hand corner leaving Joe Hart with absolute no chance.

That goal brought City to life and they almost equalised straight away when Serigo Aguero beat Emrie Can to David Silva's long ball and his shot hit the inside of the post.

City though did get themselves level before the half-hour mark with a great move that ended with Aguero sliding in Edin Dzeko who hit a low shot past Simon Mignolet into the bottom corner.

HT: Liverpool 1-1 Manchester City

City started the second half the better side and had the first chance when when Aguero headed over from a dangerous cross.

Adam Lallana had a second goal chalked off for offside when he got on the end of a free kick but the flag had already been raised before he put the ball in the net.

Liverpool then  started to dominate especially in midfield and Coutinho always looked liked the man who would deliver the second goal, and he did deliver the second goal 15 minutes from time when he unleashed a strike from left flank that curled all the way into the top corner leaving Joe Hart again with no chance.

City went close at the end with efforts from Aguero and Toure but neither troubled the Liverpool keeper.

FT: Liverpool 2-1 Manchester City

FT REPORT: MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 TOTTENHAM

MANCHESTER CITY put Wednesday's Champions League disappointment behind them after beating Spurs 1-0 to put the pressure back onto Liverpool in the title race.  (C) Manchester City  City came flying out of the blocks right away. It didn't take long to get in front. Bernando Silva's cross found Sergio Aguero, who had too much space in the box and headed across goal for Phil Foden who headed in from close range after just five minutes.  That was Foden's first Premier League goal on his second ever Premier League start. City continued to create chances but failed to take them. Aguero thought he was in after being played through by Bernando Silva but he was flagged offside.  Paulo Ganzaniga came into the starting lineup as one of five Tottenham changes. He however, was looking fragile. He made a number of errors that only gave City confidence. Trying to chip the ball over a player five yards out was one of a number of things the keeper attempted that c...
