Liverpool kept top four finish hopes alive as Philippe Coutinho’s spectacular strike sealed a well deserved win over Manchester City on Sunday.
Jordan Henderson curled in from outside of the box to place the hosts in ascendancy but Edin Dzeko restored parity before the break.

Manuel Pellegrini stuck with the crop that whitewashed Newcastle United last weekend while Alberto Moreno replaced Jordon Ibe from the Reds’s 2-0 win at Southampton.
The Premier League champions were searching for their first win at Anfield since 2003 and, despite some determined showing, ended the day still five points behind Chelsea, who are spared of league duty ahead of their Capital One Cup final clash with neighbours Tottenham Hotspur later on Sunday.
