Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says they beat Manchester City playing their own game.
The Reds enter the November international break eight points clear at the top of the Premier League after goals from Fabinho, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane saw the reigning champions beaten at Anfield.
Klopp remarked afterwards, "Nice one, eh? If you want to win against Manchester City, which is really, really difficult for each team in the world, you cannot play the way they play because they are definitely the best in the way they play. It makes no sense.
"So we have to try to push through our way. In the beginning, not only because of us, it was wild pressing and pressing, not a lot of clear balls in behind. It was like everybody tried to come in the game but was always under pressure from the other team. But intense from the first second, you could sense it was really important for both teams. Both teams were ready to put a proper shift in and they did.
"We scored two incredible goals, had to suffer in moments because of the way City play, but I would say until the 75th minute or around about, when they scored the goal, we could control it in some way. But after that, you saw immediately our legs got a bit tired and then I don't know how many balls were rolling through our six-yard box in the far-post area it doesn't feel too good.
"You always think there must be a blue player but, thank God, there was nobody. But that's exactly what City are doing usually. Of course, in moments you need a little bit of luck."
