Highlights

90+4

THE FINAL WHISTLE! City win to go second, Liverpool slip to fourth and Arsenal are top.

90+3

Henderson with an unusual shot that stays in play thanks to Suarez but he was offside.

90+3

Fernandinho gives away a free-kick on halfway. The final minutes of the match now...

90+2

Dzeko could be in to seal it but what a tackle by Skrtel! He's been running a fine line with his play at set-pieces but his tackles have been superb!

90+1

Suarez with a late high boot on Hart, who evades the challenge and bounces straight up. Suarez went in with his foot up and is booked.

90'

Toure on the left, he cuts inside but wastes a poor shot well wide.

89'

Late corner for Liverpool, won by Cissokho... Aspas to take, Suarez goes down very easily and while the away fans roar the home lot boo. Lescott had a hold of his shirt, but Skrtel's been at that all day.

88'

Kolarov fires the free-kick low through the ball but straight at Mignolet.

87'

CITY SUB: Silva comes off for Garcia.

86'

Moses leaves Zabaleta in a heap and he is booked.

85'

SHOULD HAVE BEEN THREE! Great driving run by Toure and a fizzing low ball but just behind Dzeko, who would have had a tap in!!

84'

Suarez sends the free-kick well over.

83'

Toure fouls Suarez and Liverpool have a free-kick. Only flashes of genius from Suarez so far - as a neutral, you kind of want him to show something brilliant though.

82'

Aspas tries to earn a corner but the result is a goal kick. Bright running though.

81'

LIVERPOOL: Aspas on for Lucas as the Reds go for broke!

79'

Navas on the right, he takes on Cissokho then stalls to hold it up and bring team-mates into the play...

78'

Suarez is angry after getting taken down in or around the box... Lescott stood his ground as Suarez flung himself to the deck. Not for me.

77'

CITY SUB: Negredo limps off having picked up a knock of some sort. Looks knackered. Dzeko replaces him.

77'

Suarez earns a corner with some twisting and turning. Great stuff, finally.

76'

Milner, who came off for Nasri during that wild spell a few minutes ago, gets in down the left but can't pick out a team-mate.
