Manchester City players in celebration after Leroy Sane's goal.
#1 A glorious unbeaten run finally comes to an end for Jurgen Klopp

Klopp has taken Liverpool to new heights this season.
Despite Manchester City winning the Premier League last time out, it was Jurgen Klopp's side who caught the eye of many with their fast, pacy, one-touch football. Liverpool was Pep Guardiola's bogey last season, beating them three times in all competitions. Jurgen identified the Reds most significant problem and addressed it by signing Virgil van Dijk in January and Alisson in the summer.

The defensive reinforcements completely changed the dynamic of the Liverpool side who conceded only eight goals in twenty games in the Premier League this season.
The Reds were going flawlessly until today when they got beaten by a better Manchester City side. Liverpool could not play their usual quick one-touch passing football which allowed Guardiola's team to have most of the ball, and eventually, two inspired moments by Sane and Aguero sealed all three points for the home side.
The defeat also ended Liverpool's unbeaten run to the Premier League campaign which was glorious to watch until it lasted.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.
Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.
Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.
The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.
I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
