Man City 1-1 Reds player ratings: Arnold & Doku impress but Alisson struggles
Made a fine save from Darwin Nunez early on and produced a first-half masterclass in distribution, carving Liverpool open with one outrageous pass for Bernardo Silva which almost resulted in a goal, but could not quite get across to Alexander-Arnold's leveller.
Had few problems up against Diogo Jota but allowed his replacement, Luis Diaz, to play a key role in the build-up to Liverpool's goal. Dropped into the back three when Manuel Akanji moved into midfield.
