Manchester City vs Liverpool LIVE!
Liverpool will face either Chelsea or Crystal Palace in next month’s FA Cup Final after an eventful win at a sunny Wembley.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds were simply irresistible in a one-sided first half on Saturday, going ahead inside 10 minutes after centre-back Ibrahima Konate’s third headed goal in as many games.
Things quickly went from bad to worse for shell-shocked City, who fell further behind after a dreadful blunder from dawdling goalkeeper Zack Steffen allowed Sadio Mane to slide in and score.
Mane also cracked home a spinning volley just before the interval after a terrific Thiago ball to further punish Pep Guardiola’s side, who produced one of their worst halves in recent memory and were left with a massive mountain to climb after the break.
However, Jack Grealish gave them the perfect start to the second half as he fired home after fabulous play from Gabriel Jesus, while Bernardo Silva also popped up in stoppage time to tee up a grandstand finish, with more chances for City but Liverpool just holding on.
Before kick-off, a minute’s silence to remember the victims of the Hillsborough disaster a day after the 33rd anniversary was disrupted by a small section of chanting City fans.
City subsequently issued an apology to Liverpool, with the silence having to be cut short by referee Michael Oliver.
