<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0823/carlostevezstrike20100823_275x155.jpg"><br> Carlos Tevez's (or Micah Richards') first goal.
- 92'
<b>Top four now reads: Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd and Man City. City would be happy with that in May, but for now they will take a lot of heart from beating Liverpool in such fashion. </b>
- 92'
<b>FT - They barely make them. The game is over, 3-0 to City and that's a sore one for the Reds. They were outplayed and City can take confidence from beating a rival like that.</b>
- 90'
Two mins of stoppage time.
- 90'
Liverpool offering very little now, and as with a 3-0 drubbing, nothing much is happening as the game winds down.
- 88'
Gerrard is still haring around trying to lift his side. They're done though, and just waiting for the whistle.
- 87'
Hart shouting at his defence after coming to claim the ball. Nice to see a man care about his clean sheet even when you're 3-0 up.
- 85'
Kompany slips and Ngog nearly gets away, but he shows good pace to get back.
- 85'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Liverpool subs. Jovanovic off for Pacheco.
- 84'
Odd to see Jo on as you would have thought he would have been let go. A penny for Adebayor's thoughts right now.
- 83'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Yaya Toure off for Jo and Tevez off for Zabaleta.
- 82'
Tevez nearly gets the ball across to Lescott, but Glen Johnson cuts it out. Adam Johnson is still causing problems, but City are making subs now.
- 81'
Gerrard fires a misplaced pass now, and it's all just petering out for them now.
- 80'
Kuyt can't control and keep hold of it, but that's been the story of their game.
- 79'
Babel looks lively in his few minutes on the pitch. Liverpool have lacked width this game and Johnson has exposed that.
- 77'
Gerrard releases Babel already, and he forces Hart into a save. Cuts inside well and hits it off the wet turf with his right foot.
- 77'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Torres off and Babel on. Flashes from the Spaniard, but not enough.
- 76'
Another City free-kick and Liverpool are conceding a lot of them now.
- 75'
The rain is really hammering down now. Visibility is poor.
- 74'
Carragher is beaten to the ball by Milner after a raking ball from Johnson. Glen Johnson comes across to stop the danger though.
- 73'
Adam Johnson does really well again on the right, as the rain lashes down, in between two men and is fouled.
- 73'
Gerrard battles to win the ball back after poor work from Glen Johnson against Milner.
- 73'
Oddly, City have only had three shots on target. They've made them all count.
- 72'
Torres shows a bit of class as he turns Richards on the spot. He smashes a shot across the goal, but the angle was a little too tight for him to hit the target.
- 71'
Roy Hodgson is preparing some subs, but that won't help them much now.
