Liverpool miss an opportunity but make a title statement

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp embraces Manchester City's  Pep Guardiola at the end of the English Premier League football match at Anfield  

If Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola really have just met for the very last time in the Premier League their farewell fixture has left an incredible legacy; not just the memory of a game that summed up everything that is beguiling about both managers and their rivalry but also the promise of the most exciting title race of all time.

As Klopp’s dynamic, thrilling, heavy metal football ripped City to shreds in the second half, the atmosphere inside Anfield was so guttural, so all-consuming, that it was hard to remember that City’s calm, methodical and incisive game had dominated the first.
