Gary Lineker provided the perfect assessment of Sunday’s pulsating 2-2 draw between Manchester City and Liverpool.
The two sides met at the Etihad in what was billed as a potential Premier League title decider and cancelled each other out in an exhilarating draw, that ultimately left the title picture unchanged. City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne gave the hosts an early lead thanks to a deflected effort that cannoned in off the post but their lead lasted less than 10 minutes after Diogo Jota's strike squirmed under Ederson to swiftly give the Reds – who had started slower – parity.
Gabriel Jesus – back in Pep Guardiola’s side’s starting XI in the Premier League for the first time since New Year’s Day - restored City's side lead in the 37th minute, however less than 60 seconds of the second half had been played when Sadio Mane scored Liverpool's second equaliser of the game having latched onto Mohamed Salah's perfectly-weighted through ball. Despite both sides pushing for a winner, the game ended in a draw.
