Gary Neville argues Jurgen Klopp has done an even better job in England than 'genius' Pep Guardiola.
Manchester City and Liverpool met on Sunday afternoon as they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw. Sadio Mane's second-half strike was enough to ensure his side left the Etihad with a point, a result which means City's lead at the top of the table remains at just one point.
City and Liverpool have also drawn each other in the FA Cup semi-finals and might yet meet in the Champions League showpiece event, too. Both sides will now turn their attention to their respective Champions League quarter-final second leg clashes before they meet again.

A key subplot to Sunday's meeting was how former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach Guardiola would fare against Klopp. According to Neville, each man holds a special title in terms of their standing within the English game.
Speaking to Sky Sports pre-match, pundit Neville said: "I thought Jurgen Klopp looked unhappy in the early part of the season. I thought Liverpool, from where they were with that exceptional standard a few years ago, they maybe were slightly moving down.
"The job Jurgen Klopp's done at Liverpool is absolutely incredible. It is unbelievable. It's a harder job than what Pep Guardiola has done at Manchester City. Pep Guardiola is a genius, I think he's transformed football, he will go down in history having designed a way of playing the game and that's unbelievable in itself.
"But for Jurgen Klopp to go to Liverpool in the position they were in, to compete with this Man City team, with the transfer budget they've had, is absolutely out of this world, it really is. And to play the football he's played, you don't go and watch Liverpool play and see a bad game of football. There's always a good game of football."
