Former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher has suggested that the Reds missed a big opportunity to overcome Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp's side made an impressive start to the Premier League clash and took the lead in the 13th minute when Mohamed Salah scored from the penalty spot.

City levelled in the 31st minute through Gabriel Jesus, though, before Kevin De Bruyne missed the chance to send the home side ahead from the spot in the 42nd minute.

Carragher has praised his former side for their "fantastic start" but has suggested that the reigning champions will have been frustrated by their inability to kick on.

"Liverpool were fantastic early on, and that was the moment you thought they had to push on and win the game, because City are too good to be dominated by anyone for the whole game," Carragher told Sky Sports News.

"I just think of how many opportunities Liverpool had in terms of dangerous situations, but they didn't ever get that chance where you thought they must score. They never capitalised on that first half an hour and the domination they had and, in some ways, the game petered out.

"I don't think City were anywhere near their best at any stage, really. I just think Liverpool's energy levels dropped slightly in the second half. City dominated possession without ever really looking like scoring."

Liverpool are currently third in the Premier League table, one point behind leaders Leicester City.
