12' GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Manchester City (Salah)
Liverpool have been second best in the game, but what does that matter when you have got Salah? It's a typical counter-attacking goal as Salah - looking borderline offside - is played through on the halfway line. He slides in Firmino, whose shot is saved.
The rebound comes out to Walker but he can't get it out of his feet, loses it to Firmino and the ball breaks for Salah to finish from 10 yards out. Liverpool strike first. Anfield goes bonkers.
20' GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Man City (Chamberlain)
WHAT A GOAL! WHAT A START FOR LIVERPOOL!
Milner makes an excellent tackle outside the City box and the ball is then worked inside to Oxlade-Chamberlain, who takes aim from 25 yards and drills a sublime shot into the corner and beyond Ederson's reach. Klopp somehow manages to suppress a smile but he must be loving what he is seeing.
31' GOAL! Liverpool 3-0 Man City (Mane)
Jeepers.
Who on earth saw this coming? Liverpool are running riot.
Salah sees a shot blocked on the right side of the box, gets it back and then curls in a cross for Mane to head in from eight yards out.
51' Salah limps off with injury
