PLAYER RATINGS: Van Dijk kept Haaland's chances to a minimum in Liverpool's draw
Liverpool and Manchester City played out a thrilling draw at Anfield on Sunday, leaving the Premier League title race finely poised.
It may also have been the final English league meeting between Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, following the German's decision to leave the Reds at the end of the campaign.
