Jack Grealish has detailed how Pep Guardiola insisted Manchester City 'stay in the game' at half-time before they blew Liverpool away in a 4-1 win at the Etihad.
The teams went into the break level at 1-1 after Julian Alvarez cancelled out Mohamed Salah's opener, with City enjoying most of the ball but Liverpool dangerous on the counter. Kevin De Bruyne tapped in to finish off a brilliant move less than a minute into the second-half, setting the tone for 45 minutes of dominance from the home side.
Ilkay Gundogan made it three on 53 minutes before Grealish - who was Man of the Match - fired home a well-earned fourth with 15 minutes remaining. City were on top in the first-half but it was the second 45 minutes in which they blew Liverpool away.
