Liverpool v Manchester

Brendan Rodgers has had a knack of making good decisions this season, often by stealth. One of his more recent, light-touch tactical manoeuvres was spotlit six minutes into the defeat of Manchester City.
Liverpool's opening goal at Anfield was a fine piece of execution and interplay all round, from the wiggle of Luis Suárez's hips that left Gaël Clichy in a heap, to the turn and timing of Suárez's pass to put Raheem Sterling in on goal. After which: the outstanding single moment of Sunday's game.
