liverpool 3 - 0 Man city

It was a poor performance from Manchester City on Wednesday night.

City were thrashed 3-0 by Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie at Anfield.

The night got off to a dreadful start when Mohamed Salah capitalised on a defensive error early on to clinically punish the Blues.

Things quickly went from bad to worse when midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain rifled a beautiful effort into the top corner from outside the box.

City fought to get back in the game but were soon down by a third when Sadio Mane headed in at the back post to give the Reds a 3-0 lead at the break.

Pep Guardiola was criticised for his controversial team selection as Aymeric Laporte started at left-back while Raheem Sterling was dropped for Ilkay Gundogan.
