Liverpool player ratings as Trent Alexander-Arnold and two others good vs Man City
Alisson Becker 6
Had already gifted one City chance when poor attempted clearance prompted the opener, and fortunate to escape being awarded a soft foul for a possible second. Good saves from Foden and Haaland, though.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 8
Beaten a little too easily by Ake in build-up to opener, but otherwise stuck to task against Doku and some good forward passes, and brilliant finish for the equaliser.
Joel Matip 8
Embraced his inner Messi with some forays out from the back and decisive and composed defensively. Very impressive. Booked.

Diogo Jota 6
