Liverpool 3-0 Man City: Reds run riot as Sterling endures nightmare return

Goals from Lallana, Milner and Firmino secured a memorable win for Liverpool to avenge Sunday's Capital One Cup final defeat 

Liverpool dealt a hammer blow to Manchester City's title hopes as Raheem Sterling endured a miserable return to Anfield.

Liverpool brushed lacklustre Man City aside to complete a memorable Premier League double over Manuel Pellegrini's side.

The Reds were rampant as Adam Lallana, James Milner and Roberto Firmino scored to gain some degree of revenge for Sunday's Capital One Cup Final loss.

England winger Sterling was booed by the Liverpool fans and he was expertly shackled by Jon Flanagan before being substituted at half-time.

City were awful and are a distant 10 points behind leaders Leicester in fourth place with games running out.
