Man City 1-1 Liverpool FC LIVE! Premier League result as it happened - Jesus cancels out Salah penalty

Manchester City vs Liverpool LIVE!

The last two Premier League champions had to settle for a point apiece as their first meeting of the new season ended in a 1-1 draw at the Etihad

Kyle Walker fouled Sadio Mane for an early penalty which Mohamed Salah tucked away, but Gabriel Jesus soon restored parity for City, poking home after an exquisite first touch. 

The hosts then had a golden chance to go ahead as referee Craig Pawson awarded City a penalty of their own following a VAR review for a Joe Gomez handball - but Kevin de Bruyne sent his spot-kick wide.

It is still early days in the title race, but Guardiola has already warned his players that every point will count with their single-point 2018/19 title triumph over Liverpool still fresh in the memory.

The result means Liverpool will go into the international break in third-place, still five points clear of City. 

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Joao Cancelo, De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan, Torres, Gabriel Jesus, Sterling

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Gomez, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Salah, Mane, Firmino, Jota
