The visitors were seeing more of the ball and Otamendi had even smacked the crossbar with a header, but the hosts managed to take the lead. Firmino shrugged off John Stones and lifted the ball over Ederson. It bounced in off the post.
Firmino restores the lead for #LFC vs #MCFC! Oxlade-Chamberlain played him through, he shouldered Stones off the ball, and finished to the far post! Great strength. 2-1. #LIVMCI #lfcvcity #Liverpool pic.twitter.com/b3jSkvxpIn

Liverpool made the most of the momentum and Sadio Mane first clipped the outside of the post. The Senegal international found space moments later and sent a left-footed strike flying into the top corner.
#Mane's STUNNER!#LIVMCI #PL
