It all added up to the worst 90 minutes of the season for Guardiola and City.Liverpool deserved their victory as City once again tasted defeat on a ground at which they have not won in 18 games stretching back to May 2003.When the dust settles, however, City can look back at a truly magnificent campaign so far - and, more significantly, a lead that still looks unassailable.City responded serenely to going behind early on, calmly playing their way back into contention until Sane put them back on level terms.But Stones' weak defending broke them and there was no comeback from those goals from Firmino and Mane either side of the hour mark.It was a day when individual errors, such as those by Stones and Ederson, were punished and City simply could not summon up another of those late shows that have brought them so many points this season.Even then, when not at their best, they gave Anfield a collective attack of nerves in those closing moments when the possibility of an escape suddenly presented itself.It was a demonstration of the character in Guardiola's side that they kept going - but, in the end, they finally had to taste defeat.Sterling has been regarded as the villain in these parts ever since he left Liverpool for City in a £49m deal in July 2015.The ill-feeling towards the forward, who has been one of the Premier League's standout players this season, was demonstrated by the raucous jeers that followed every intervention in this game.There was no lack of effort from Sterling but little went right as he lost his battle with Liverpool left-back Robertson, who was outstanding.

The first reaction was a thrilling one.Coutinho has been central to Liverpool's potent attacking style both as a scorer and creator of goals, but Klopp's other game-changers stepped forward to suggest, on initial viewing at least, they can compensate for his departure.Oxlade-Chamberlain now has a greater opportunity to make his mark, and he delivered after only nine minutes when he arrowed a low, unerring finish past Ederson's outstretched right hand in front of the Kop.Firmino harassed Stones into a decisive error before calmly restoring Liverpool's lead at 2-1, while Mane's explosive rising drive and Salah's composure following Ederson's poor clearance illustrated the weaponry at Klopp's disposal.This was all backed up by relentless pressing and harassing in midfield from players such as Emre Can, while Andrew Robertson subdued Raheem Sterling as he produced his best performance since his £8m summer move from Hull City.Apart from Loris Karius' poor attempt to save from Sane at his near post, compounding Joe Gomez's mistake, this was an outstanding Liverpool performance until their late wobble.As a taste of life post-Coutinho, it was highly satisfying for Klopp and Liverpool.
