Another goal and another assist for Mohamed Salah who appears on a mission to deliver the title in what, remarkably of course, could still be his last season at Liverpool as his current contract runs down.
There was also a goal and an assist for Dominik Szoboszlai, who delivered an outstanding performance as he broke forward intelligently from midfield and as Liverpool played without a central striker.
The first goal came from a cleverly worked corner routine – again a sign of their organisation – with the ball played short to Szoboszlai, who turned it back across the penalty area for Salah to run on to.
City simply could find no way through and, as magnificent as Salah and Szoboszlai were, that central defensive partnership of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté is simply formidable.
Their build-up play was good, they kept the ball, they were unlucky in attack – although, without Haaland, they lack that instinct that Liverpool possess.
