Man City keep title race edge over Liverpool FC after another classic fixture

The two best teams on the planet served up another breathless, bouncing, bold classic - and yet again there was nothing to divide them. And we have to do it all again in six days' time, in an FA Cup semi-final!

Twice City led, through Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus, but twice Liverpool - despite being second best for much of the game - refused to lie down, and levelled through Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane. The first half had us all wondering whether these two teams could keep up an incredible, relentless pace that was also garnished with some supreme quality. It was exhausting watching from the stands as two pedigree sides went hammer and tongs.

But in the end, a point each means the Blues keep their noses in front in the title race, with seven games to go. Liverpool needed a win, City played for one, but the result was much better for the home side.
