Manchester City ended decades of hurt at Anfield by soundly beating Liverpool 4-1 on a memorable afternoon on Merseyside.
City missed a first-half penalty before two Ilkay Gundogan goals with a Mo Salah penalty sandwiched in-between and further goals from Raheem Sterling and the irrepressible Phil Foden completed the rout.
For once, it was a very happy trip home from the home of Liverpool FC.
City started confidently without creating too many chances in a game that was all about pressing, breaking up play and trying to impose styles.
There were tactical battles all over the pitch, but not much in the way of goalmouth action.
A third consecutive home defeat for the first time since 1963 leaves Liverpool 10 points off the top in fourth, having also played a game more than Manchester City.
