Liverpool beat Man City 4-3 in a truly astonishing Premier League clash on Sunday, and Reds supporters were left overjoyed by the result.
Liverpool 4-3 Man City
Premier League, Anfield
January 14, 2018
Goals: Oxlade-Chamberlain 9′, Firmino 59′, Mane 61′, Salah 67′; Sane 41′, B Silva 84′, Gundogan 90+1′
Who else can barely breathe?
Liverpool ended City’s unbeaten league run this season, with Jurgen Klopp‘s side producing arguably their best ever performance under the German.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fired the hosts in front, only for Leroy Sane to equalise just before half-time, with Loris Karius not covering himself in glory.
Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah all scored in a stunning second-half burst, but late goals from Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan made for an unbearable nervy finish.
It was a heroic effort from Liverpool—here’s how supporters reacted to the game on social media…
It was an afternoon full of outstanding individual performances, and fans picked out their best players after the final whistle…
Robertson impresses more and more, didn't expect this level of quality from him!

Lallana on for Salah, who had a quiet game by his standards but scored one of the goals of season.
— Jim Boardman (@JimBoardman) January 14, 2018
No Liverpool player's been bad, obviously, but Robertson, Wijnaldum and especially Oxlade-Chamberlain have all been outstanding.

Give MOTM to Andy Roberton for smashing Sterling all over the shop.

“Ox is MotM for me. He played a brilliant game. Andy Robertson is a close second – he was outstanding.”

Bobby Firmino is the greatest Brazilian we've ever had.
— Green Scouser (@Green_Scouser) January 14, 2018
I know we were raving about Moreno before his injury, but Robertson is wonderful.
— LFC Fans Corner (@LFCFansCorner) January 14, 2018
There isn’t anyone in world football like Bobby Firmino. Uniquely exceptional
— John O'Sullivan (@NotoriousJOS) January 14, 2018
Love Robertson's attitude and determination – on top of his abilities. Bargain of the summer.
— Jim Boardman (@JimBoardman) January 14, 2018
Can, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Firmino and Chamberlain all outstanding. Salah and Mané have both played better, but both still scored.
— John O'Sullivan (@NotoriousJOS) January 14, 2018
I take back any time I've ever said that we need a proper #9

Coutinho’s name was on some peoples lips, with the departed Brazilian not missed…
Phil Who-tinho?

Thought Coutinho played well.

Who needs Coutinho?
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) January 14, 2018
“It’s looking very very good. Must admit I dreaded today but the way we played was a massive statement having just lost Coutinho.”
– KCollins on the forums.
And all this happened without Coutinho
— Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) January 14, 2018
Coutinho, who?
— Leanne Prescott (@_lfcleanne) January 14, 2018
Liverpool have not lost a match since Coutinho moved to Barcelona #Liverpool #LIVMCI #LFCMCFC

No Coutinho, No VVD, Lovren as captain. Still won. pic.twitter.com/aij9ubna2p

And Liverpool’s display was lauded by the masses, as well as the match in general…
And some people don’t love football….
— John Arne Riise (@JARiiseOfficial) January 14, 2018
Just lost one of our best players. New record signing missing through injury. First team to beat City in the league all season and up to 3rd in the table. That'll do.
— Joel Rabinowitz (@joel_archie) January 14, 2018
Huge win for #lfc. Shows Klopp’s impact again. Inspiring man-manager, makes good players better, fearless tactics, bond with fans, a manager completely in tune with his club’s ethos. #LIVMCI

We are a serious football team.
— Sam Williams (@SamWilIiams) January 14, 2018
Great 2 c a team like Liverpool, infused by the positivity of a leader like Klopp, not shrinking in front of City but having courage to play

What a game, by far the best game of the season. Two fantastic teams going at it and throwing blows for 90 minutes. Phenomenal!
— Rousing The Kop (@RousingTheKop) January 14, 2018
I'm actually shaking. Surely a contender for best Premier League game of all time.
Every single one of those Liverpool players was unbelievable today – an amazing win.
Credit to City, who will be more than worthy champions.

4 goals to give us 3 really big points! Dramatic win for #lfc @LFC pic.twitter.com/EFEp7zp4Zy

#LFC unbeaten in 18 games, averaging exactly 3 goals a game.

There was a freedom about Liverpool 4 Man City 3, but also ball-hounding and tenacity: a great balance. Best of all, the talent expressed itself.

After the massive dark cloud of Coutinho exit loomed over everything, that was the perfect way to follow up the Everton win. Anfield confidence levels now sky high. Conversely made it better for VVD not to feature – the team humiliated at the Etihad got their revenge. #LFC
— Danny Gallagher (@Danny7Gallagher) January 14, 2018
Don't care about the late goals. That was a herculean performance from #LFC. Absolutely incredible physical effort and a vintage display of gegenpressing.
