Man City 3-2 Liverpool: Klopp’s reaction to Nunez’s poor miss

Liverpool were knocked out of the Carabao Cup on Thursday evening after being beaten by Manchester City in a five-goal thriller.

The Reds travelled to the Etihad Stadium with a place in the quarter-finals on the line.

It was City who emerged victorious as they won 3-2.

The game went into the half-time break level with Fabio Carvalho cancelling out Erling Haaland’s ninth minute opener.

City took the lead once more just after the restart through Riyad Mahrez, only for Mohamed Salah to level the scores again moments later.

But it was the home side who won it with Nathan Ake notching what proved to be the winner in the 58th minute.

Liverpool had multiple chances to restore parity and make it 3-3.

The best chance of the lot fell to Liverpool’s mega -money summer signing, Darwin Nunez.

The Uruguayan forward beat the offside trap and went one vs one with Stefan Ortega in the 72nd minute.

Nunez had all the time in the world to pick his spot but inexplicably dragged his shot wide from close range.
