- Jesus opens early on (2)
- Salah levels for Reds (56)
- Firmino puts visitors ahead (77)
- CL quarter-final second leg
88: Man City are seeing plenty of the ball in the last few minutes, but their attacking prowess from the first half has fizzled out it seems.
Liverpool are looking much more comfortable now, as you would expect.
81: OFFSIDE! Another offside goal from Man City after they have the ball in the back of the net.
Jesus slides in Sane down the left of the box, and he in turn flashes the ball across the face of goal for Gundogan who nets, but the offside flag is raised and it won’t count.
25: A great ball into the box from De Bruyne at the top right corner of the box, seeking out Sane at the back post but as he tussles with a Liverpool defender, the linesman has his offside flag correctly raised.
24: Man City are dominating this game at the moment, in terms of attacking play and possession, with Liverpool struggling to string more than a few passes together.
21: CHANCES! Man City are really pressing for another goal now, and it’s Sterling and Jesus who link up again but the latter cannot tap home this time as the ball ricochets off his chest.
Karius is called into action not long after as Sane crosses from the left of the box, aiming for Bernardo Silva, but Karius is there to make a leaping save
17: De Bruyne takes and pulls it back for Sane at the top of the area with the German going for goal, but it is deflected out for a corner.
David Silva and De Bruyne link up again for a short corner this time, but the linesman’s flag is soon raised for offside.
16: Free kick to Man City as Lovren flies into a challenge on Sterling on the right baseline. Perfect position for City with David Silva and De Bruyne over it…
13: An excellent ball from Bernardo Silva there as he switches the play to the left flank, picking out Sane, who hasn’t done too much yet.
The move ends with David Silva firing a cross into the area, but Liverpool manage to clear.
10: Liverpool have the first corner of the evening, which Salah takes shorts to Firmino, who in turn finds Alexander-Arnold.
The young defender whips a cross into the area and it’s a superb effort, but no red shirt can get into the end of it as it runs wide.
8: A half effort from De Bruyne as he tries his luck from around 25 yards after a lay off from David Silva, but it goes high over Karius’ crossbar.
6: First eyes on attack for Liverpool but it’s not the best as Salah tries a diagonal pass forward from the right flank for Mane, but it runs too wide.

GOAL! MAN CITY 1-0 LIVERPOOL (Jesus, 2; agg 1-3)
That is the start Man City were looking for!! It’s a wonderful goal too, far too easy for the home side.
It starts when Van Dijk believes he has been fouled by Sterling over on the left touchline and while he is calling for it, Man City get on with the game as Fernandinho slides the loose ball forward from the middle of the park.
It finds Sterling down the right of the area who then cuts back for the waiting Jesus in the middle of the box and it is easy as you like for him to sweep home with little in terms of defenders around him.
Two more goals and we’re on level peggings but an away goal from Liverpool could change it all…
90: Two minutes of added time.
89: Another change for Liverpool as Salah is replaced by Ings. A few boos and jeers from the home fans as he goes off.
He gets a big hug from Jurgen Klopp on the sidelines after his equalising goal.

85: Free kick to Liverpool as Clyne is judged to have been fouled by Jesus. It’s taken long though and little comes from it.
82: Double changes for Liverpool as Klavan and Clyne come on for Firmino and Alexander-Arnold.
81: OFFSIDE! Another offside goal from Man City after they have the ball in the back of the net.
Jesus slides in Sane down the left of the box, and he in turn flashes the ball across the face of goal for Gundogan who nets, but the offside flag is raised and it won’t count.
