Manchester City went provisionally top of the Premier League table after thrashing Liverpool 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Liverpool went into the match in second place and were coming at the back of inflicting a 4-0 defeat on Arsenal.
However, Liverpool were at the receiving end of a Manchester City and were blown away by a brace each from Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane with Sergio Aguero also getting on the scoresheet.
The turning point in the match came when Sadio Mane was shown a direct red for a reckless high boot on City keeper Ederson.
Liverpool were already trailing to Sergio Aguero's cool finish when Sadio Mane was sent off eight minutes before half-time for a high challenge on Ederson that left City's keeper requiring lengthy treatment for facial injuries before he was replaced by Claudio Bravo.
City took ruthless advantage of their numerical advantage, adding a second before the break through Gabriel Jesus's header, helped by a Liverpool side who folded dramatically in the second half.
