Liverpool overcame their previous Premier League problems to snap Manchester City's unbeaten streak in a thrilling game at Anfield that saw Jurgen Klopp receive a red card.
Erling Haaland's goals put City in a strong position, but Liverpool overcame the defending champions by finding their form, which had been missing for much of the season.
Haaland, for once, did not score, and it was Liverpool's talisman Mohamed Salah who made the decisive contribution. After Joao Cancelo slipped, Salah raced on to a clearance from the goalkeeper Alisson and beat Ederson with a cool finish with 14 minutes remaining.
Salah was earlier denied by Ederson in a similar one-on-one position, and City boss Pep Guardiola was incensed that a goal by Phil Foden that would have given his team the lead was disallowed due to Haaland's foul on Fabinho.
Despite forcing two saves from Alisson, Haaland's day was not to be; nevertheless, Liverpool finally displayed why they have constantly been City's strongest threat, and Anfield was filled with joy.
Klopp was dismissed by referee Anthony Taylor for his complaints during the tense conclusion when he felt Salah had been fouled, but once the heat has subsided, he will be ecstatic about a convincing victory.
