The striker fired a shot over the bar from close range in Wednesday's match, failing to give his side the lead with the game poised at 2-2.

Arne Slot has explained his decision to play Curtis Jones through the middle of the Liverpool attack against Man City. Darwin Nunez was left on the bench at the Etihad.

It was a big call to play without a recognised number nine against Man City. But Arne Slot got his tactics 100% right. It’s the tactics of the game. It’s what he has seen to put out to win the game.
