Jurgen Klopp was sent off in a crazy match between Liverpool and Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.

Liverpool went into the game desperately needing a victory to keep their Premier League title aspirations alive.

And they got the result they needed as the Reds won 1-0 in an entertaining game at Anfield.

The game well and truly burst into life in the second half after a goalless opening 45 minutes.

Man City thought they had scored the opener through Phil Foden 10 minutes after the restart.

But referee Anthony Taylor decided to rule out the goal after looking at the pitchside monitor, adjudging Erling Haaland to have felled Fabinho in the build-up.

Liverpool then took the lead with 15 minutes remaining after a moment of magic from Mohamed Salah.

Alisson Becker launched a kick forward in the direction of Salah. The Egyptian spun Joao Cancelo and finished coolly when one vs one with Ederson.

There were no further goals as Liverpool held on to a vital three points.
