Jack Grealish revealed he was "in the toilet and felt sick all morning" before producing a Player of the Match display to help Man City tear Liverpool apart.
Grealish provided the assist for Julian Alvarez’s equaliser – after Mohamed Salah had given the Reds the lead in the 17th minute – and rounded off the scoring in the 4-1 victory for City, who also had Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan on the scoresheet.
In truth, City were levels above the visitors throughout the match and condemned Liverpool to their third successive defeat since their memorable seven-goal victory over Manchester United – as Jurgen Klopp’s side’s hopes of a top four finish suffered a fresh blow.
