De Bruyne skipped past Liverpool's midfield on the edge of the penalty area and struck the ball with his left foot from around 25-yards out. The shot deflected off Joel Matip and was out of reach for Alisson in the goal. City were on top and Liverpool looked rattled, unable to get a grip on the match.
However, the away team began to gradually work their way back into the game. After 13 minutes, Mohamed Salah collected the ball in the box with his back to goal and attempted to play in Jota, who had been selected to start ahead of Roberto Firmino.
Man City cleared the ball but it landed with Andy Robertson, who crossed to the back post for Trent Alexander-Armstrong to cut a pass back for Jota to score.
