The Reds, who conceded their third home defeat in a row, are now ten points behind, and City also has a game to catch up on.

Gündogan secured the guests at Anfield Road with his eighth and ninth goals in the last ten games (49th and 73rd) the 14th competitive win in a row.

The 30-year-old had previously missed a penalty in the first half.
