Liverpool 1-1 Man City: John Stones and Kevin De Bruyne combine for clever opener... but Alexis Mac Allister levels from the spot as honours are shared in crunch title race showdown

When people talk about the many times that Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola faced each other in English league football, they will talk about the last meeting most rapturously of all. John Stones put the visitors 1-0 up, clipping in a corner from Kevin De Bruyne at the near post Alexis Mac Allister would level the scores after half-time from the penalty spot after Ederson brought down Darwin Nunez in the box Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola embraced before and after the match, in what could be the last time we see both managers go head-to-head in the Premier League Your browser does not support iframes. Pep Guardiola crossed his arms and blew his cheeks out on the sideline as City looked to hold onto their lead Ederson took out Darwin Nunez inside his own penalty area, injuring himself in the process The Brazilian looked to suffer an injury to his thigh in the challenge and was subsequently taken off Mac Allister stepped up to take the resulting penalty and buried the ball into the left-corner of the goal City targeted Liverpool’s left flank where Gomez struggled to keep Foden in check and it was from one of their incursions there that the visitors took the lead midway through the half with a set-piece straight off the training ground.
