Monday 20 March 2017 00:08, UK
Manchester City and Liverpool had to settle for a point each in their battle for Champions League qualification after a thrilling 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium.
Former City player James Milner put Liverpool ahead in a ferocious, end-to-end Premier League contest with a 51st-minute penalty but Sergio Aguero's 25th goal of the season earned City a share of the spoils.
Both sides had numerous chances to score a winner with City, responding well after their Champions League loss in Monaco, going close when Kevin de Bruyne hit the post.
Liverpool should have scored 11 minutes from time when Roberto Firmino got behind the defence to tee up Adam Lallana but the England man, wide open as City wrongly assumed he was offside, missed his kick.
As the drama continued, Sterling poked narrowly wide as he latched onto a brilliant ball from Silva and Firmino drove another effort wide. Aguero could have had the final word but twice missed the target late on.
