Needing a considerable feat of escapology following last week’s 3-0 first-leg defeat at Anfield, City led inside two minutes through Gabriel Jesus as the “thunderstorm” Klopp foresaw in his pre-match news conference came to pass. Bernardo Silva hit the post and Leroy Sane had a goal incorrectly ruled out for offside but Liverpool held out, leaving Salah and Firmino to clinically punish a flagging City after the break. That did not mean Klopp was about to waver in his admiration of old adversary Pep Guardiola and his side, who have now suffered three of their seven defeats to Liverpool this season....
Aleksandar Mitrovic headed home only for the linesman to raise his flag for offside, despite Andy Robertson appearing to be between the Fulham striker and the goal.
