Five Talking Points from Liverpool's crucial 3-2 win over Manchester City

After taking a 2-0 lead in the first half, Liverpool had to dig deep and find a way past City, which they eventually did, to leave them seven points ahead of the visitors, who have two games in hand. Here are the five talking points from the game.

#1 Anfield rolling back the years

On the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, not only did Liverpool turn back the clock their fans did as well. This was probably the loudest Anfield has been in a very long time. They got the best possible start when Sterling scored early on, which almost brought the roof down. But the hallmark of true fans is how they respond to adversity. With City levelling the score at 2-2, with still half an hour to go, the fans were stunned.

Suddenly, the team didn’t look as comfortable as they did in the first half and they needed their fans to give them a push. And boy did the Kop do that, as they breathed a new lease of life into the team and go onto score the all-important winner. As Rodgers said in his pre-match interview, the support of the fans is “something money can’t buy”, and Liverpool have plenty of that.
