Liverpool made Jose Mourinho’s weekend even better by inflicting a defeat on title-chasers Man City at Anfield.

Starting with both Daniel Sturridge and Mario Balotelli on the bench, the Reds began the game well and took the lead after just 11 minutes, courtesy of a fine curling effort from Jordan Henderson. That goal stunned the visitors into action and on 25 minutes Edin Dzeko levelled the scores after great work from Sergio Aguero.

After the break, both sides had chances to take the lead but it was the outstanding Philippe Coutinho who eventually bagged the decisive goal. Cutting in from the flanks, the Brazilian schemer an outstanding curling shot which beat Joe Hart and ultimately secured a vital win in the Merseysiders’ race for a Champions League berth.
