Sane the hero as Man City ends Liverpool’s unbeaten run



Leroy Sane was the hero as Manchester City put an end to Liverpool’s unbeaten run in the English Premier League at the Etihad.

Leroy Sane’s 72nd-minute strike proved decisive as Manchester City reinvigorated their title defence and ended Liverpool’s unbeaten Premier League run with a crucial 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium.

Roberto Firmino looked to have sealed a potentially vital point for leaders Liverpool in the title race when he equalised just past the hour, but Sane struck soon after, confirming the Reds’ first league defeat of the season in their 21st game and moving City to second and within four points of the summit.

Pep Guardiola said this match would be decided in the boxes and on a night of frenzied attacking and defending it was City’s men who came out on top.
