Manchester City and Liverpool took a point each from their Etihad meeting on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp went head-to-head for the first time this season and the German knew his side would go back to the top of the Premier League table with a victory.
However, City rallied to equalise through Gabriel Jesus following Mohamed Salah’s early penalty, but couldn’t build on that strike as Kevin De Bruyne fired a penalty wide of the post.
Daily Star Sport have now picked out those who impressed and those who flopped.
