The biggest home gate since 1981 watches City virtually end Liverpool’s title hopes with a masterful display. It’s City’s first win over the Reds since 1983 and but for Mike Hooper’s defiance the winning margin would have been bigger. It’s City’s 14th home win, a Div 1 club record.
City 9th | Liverpool 2nd (22)
