Brendan Rodgers’ side started the day at the top of the Premier League and landed an early blow as they took the lead through Phillippe Coutinho.
Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling combined in the build-up, with the latter rounding Joe Hart before stepping aside to allow Coutinho to tap into the empty net.
Seven minutes later, City levelled as Vincent Kompany nodded in from David Silva’s corner and Manuel Pellegrini’s side took the lead on the stroke of half-time when Simon Mignolet was unable to keep out Alvaro Negredo’s first time effort.
Both sides had chances after the break, with Liverpool going closest when Sterling blazed over at the far post as City held on to claim an important three points.
