Manchester City played out a thrilling 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday, a result that, while keeping them a point clear at the top of the Premier League table, feels slightly less than they deserved.
Pep Guardiola's side were brilliant for large swathes of the contest, dominating the first-half in particular but failing to make the most of the chances they created. Guardiola adopted a Liverpool-esque direct approach to attack, his side playing far more balls in behind their opponent's defence than normal.
But against a team as good as Liverpool, fine margins can make all the difference. The performance of Kyle Walker summed that up perfectly and served as a microcosm of City's general team performance on the day.
