Man City trash Liverpool 4-1 in inspiring comeback

Manchester City got a crucial 4-1 win against Liverpool in their Premier League derby in round 29. The Reds were able to score first, but the home side made a comeback.

Liverpool were first to strike in the 17th minute. Mohamed Salah was given too much space in the box and he took advantage of it, slotting the ball into the top left corner. VAR checked the situation for offside, but everything was fine with the play.
