What did Pep Guardiola do to Liverpool fans?
As the game wound down, the Anfield crowd tried to rile up Guardiola, who was pacing on the touchline.
"You’re getting sacked in the morning," sang the home crowd.

The defeat has seen Liverpool open an 11-point gap over Manchester City after just 13 games. City now slip to fifth on the log, with Arsenal and Chelsea in second place, nine points behind the leaders.
