Liverpool v Manchester City player ratings: Salah 9, Milner 3; Foden 9, Cancelo 4

Premier League giants fight out thrilling 2-2 draw at Anfield

LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Alisson Becker - 6. A couple of early moments evoked memories of his dreadful performance against City in February, but the Brazilian made important saves when needed. He was unlucky with the deflection on City’s second goal. Reuters

James Milner - 3. The 35-year-old could not handle Foden. He was very lucky not to be sent off after bringing down Silva while on a yellow card. He was taken off almost immediately afterward for Gomez. AFP

Joel Matip - 6. The centre-back got his body into a strange shape and deflected De Bruyne’s shot into the net. He defended stoutly and brought the ball out of defence capably. AFP

Virgil van Dijk - 6. The Dutchman handled City's ploy of playing Grealish down the middle with ease. He looked tentative early on but grew into the game. Getty Images

Andrew Robertson - 5. The Scot was kept occupied by Jesus and was unable to get upfield and produce the kind of crosses that Liverpool strikers feed off. EPA

Fabinho - 4. The Brazilian was far too casual and spurned a late chance when the goal was yawning in front of him. He saw the ball late but should have shot first time instead of taking a touch. He looked ponderous in midfield. Getty Images

Jordan Henderson - 4. The captain was poor in possession and did little to disrupt City’s pattern of play. A disappointing display. Getty Images

Curtis Jones - 4. The 20-year-old lacked his usual energy. His strength is running with the ball and he did little to trouble the City defence. Reuters

Sadio Mane - 7. The Senegalese was finding it hard to make an impact but kept moving and working. His goal was a reward for persistence as much as brilliance. Getty Images

Mohamed Salah - 9. It looked like nothing was coming off for the Egyptian but he can turn a game in a moment. His run and pass to Mane for the first goal showed his genius but he upstaged that with a wriggling run and clinical shot for the second. AFP

Diogo Jota - 5. The Portuguese laboured to get into the game and managed to test Ederson just once. Withdrawn in the 68th minute for Firmino. Getty Images

SUB: Roberto Firmino - 5. Joined the action with 22 minutes to go at Jota’s expense. He saw little of the ball and could not influence the game. AFP

SUB: Joe Gomez - 6. Sent on in the 78th minute after Milner surprisingly escaped a red card. The defence looked more solid for his presence. AFP

MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Ederson - 5. The Brazilian was excellent with his feet but should have done better with Salah’s goal. He also flapped at a cross that presented a late chance to Fabinho. Getty

Kyle Walker - 6. The Englishman kept a tight rein on Mane, whose goal came on the other side. He was good on the ball going forward, too. Getty Images

Ruben Dias - 6. The Portuguese made some important blocks and was composed in possession. A moment of confusion with Laporte opened up the space for Mane to score. Getty Images

Aymeric Laporte - 5. The 27-year-old should have done better for both Liverpool goals. A comfortable day turned ugly quickly for the centre-back. Reuters

Joao Cancelo - 4. The Portuguese was superb going forward but not so clever in defence. He needed to pay more attention to stopping the opposition because he neglected his responsibilities for both goals. Reuters

Rodri - 8. The Spaniard made a poor attempt to stop Salah for the first goal but this brilliant sliding challenge saved a point for his team. He set the tempo in midfield. Getty

Kevin De Bruyne - 7. The Belgian had a number of chances and should have scored with a diving header. Just as it looked as if he was having a sub-par outing he popped up to score the second equaliser. Getty Images

Bernardo Silva - 7. A composed and dynamic performance for most of the game. He left the Liverpool midfield chasing shadows but got sat down by Salah before the Egyptian striker’s goal. AFP

Gabriel Jesus - 7. The Brazilian set up Foden’s leveller and kept Robertson pinned down. He toiled away for the team in a less than glamorous role. AFP

Phil Foden - 9. The 21-year-old made life miserable for Milner. He showed his superstar credentials, scored City’s first equaliser and oozed class. Getty Images

Jack Grealish - 4. The 26-year-old was deployed up the middle to start the game and found it hard to get into the action. He was taken off with 24 minutes to go and replaced by Sterling. Getty Images

SUB: Raheem Sterling - 6. The winger came on for Grealish in the 66th minute. He sent in a tempting cross that Liverpool scrambled to clear and made some good runs that came to nothing. AFP

Manchester City came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday in a pulsating Premier League encounter at Anfield.

After struggling against a dominant City in the first half, Liverpool took the lead in the 59th minute when Mohamed Salah threaded the ball through to Sadio Mane who confidently fired past goalkeeper Ederson.

But City were on level terms 10 minutes later when Gabriel Jesus cut in from the right, leaving four Liverpool defenders behind before finding Phil Foden who drilled the ball into the far, bottom corner.

Salah then restored Liverpool's lead with a stunning individual goal, twisting and turning to lose Joao Cancelo and Aymeric Laporte before firing home.

Once again, though, City responded - Foden again finding space on the left and pulling the ball back to Kevin De Bruyne whose curling shot took a slight deflection off Joel Matip and beat keeper Alisson.
