All the plaudits will be heading to Dominik Szoboszlai after Liverpool's victory over Pep Guardiola's side but the Hungarian was not the only one who caught the eye among the Reds' midfielders.

The Reds cruised to a comfortable 2-0 victory without needing to break a sweat. It's their first victory at the Etihad since 2018 and it's a huge one.
It means Arne Slot's side are now 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a game in hand. It means Liverpool can afford to lose two games from their last 11 matches and still come out on top.
What is the most encouraging aspect of the performance though is not the Reds' position but the way Slot has been able to get the best out of all of his players.
Alexis Mac Allister shows he is worth £105m
Liverpool signed the Argentine midfielder for just £35m from Brighton (The Guardian) in what could prove to be the bargain of the century.
It definitely was based on the game against Man City. Mac Allister played both Nico Gonzalez and Kevin De Bruyne off the park with his brilliant showing.
The City duo who cost a combined £105m barely saw the ball and that's largely down to Mac Allister's brilliance.
As the Daily Express' player ratings review wrote: 'Took the corner which led to Liverpool's opener. Kept things ticking in the middle of the park despite City having the lion's share of possession. Tracked back relentlessly and covered almost every blade of grass on the pitch.'
That very succinctly summarises Mac Allister's absolute supreme brilliance. Something maybe we haven't really seen under Slot, definitely saw it last season under Jurgen Klopp.
But now Mac Allister looks to have been unleashed under the Dutchman as well.
And let's not put it lightly, the fact that he played both Gonzalez and De Bruyne off the park was an incredible feat. These are players City invested a lot of money into. Players who are in their own right excellent but they were ineffective on Sunday afternoon.
Guardiola was so frustrated that he substituted both of them before the final whistle.
Mac Allister though, stayed on and was a pivotal role in Liverpool's victory. This is the kind of performance that will live long in the memory.

The kind of performance that proves he is worth much more than just £35m but perhaps even £105m if he can keep players of that value at bay.
