# Man City Player Ratings: Liverpool (A)

Manchester City succumbed to a 3-0 defeat away at Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

It was an unusually poor display from City as they failed to break down the Reds, who will take a huge advantage into the second leg at the Etihad Stadium.

Mohamed Salah scored Liverpool’s first of the evening early on after some defensive mishaps, before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain unleashed a long-range shot past Ederson.

Sadio Mane then added insult to injury soon after with a header, and that was enough to help Liverpool to a historic 3-0 win over a hapless City side.

The Citizens are down but not out, however, they do have a mountain to climb. Here are our player ratings.
