The best team did not win

    It was an action-packed evening in Anfield.The reds secured their first point in the Premier League after being held 2-2 against champions City.Liverpool lost their lead twice in the game.They started the game with a slow tempo.Liverpool got their frst chance in the game inn the 17th minute when wonderboy Sterling delivered a dangerous cross to Borini who shot the ball wide .Soon after that, Carlos Tevez hits the post after a shot from a tight angle.Liverpool drew first blood when Martin Skrtel  scored with a thunderous header from a corner by Steven Gerrard in the 34th minute.Liverpool went to halftime with a 1-0 lead.

 There was much more action in the second half.Jack Rodwell replaced Nasri in the 59th minute.Tevez continues to give problems to Liverpool's defence who were solid and disciplined.Edin Dzeko came in for Balotelli in the 60th minute who have a decent game but could find a way past Skrtel and co.The Citizens finally put the ball in the back of the net after Tevez who has been terrorising Liverpool's back four throughout the game sends in a cross which was met by Yaya Toure who slammed it in Liverpool's goal.

    Liverpool looked likely to win the game after Suarez's superb,bended free-kick past Joe Hart, but a miss-placed backpass from the otherwise excellent Skrtel allowed Tevez to go one on one with Reina. Tevez made no mistake on that and the champions snatched a point from Liverpool.
