The final whistle goes and Liverpool's players and fans celebrate a terrific victory. For City this has been a night to forget. But have we just seen the start of something special under Jurgen Klopp for Liverpool. At the Etihad it finishes Man City 1, Liverpool 4.
We're in to added on time at the Etihad. There will be four more minutes for City to endure.
The Liverpool fans are in fine voice and you can hardly blame them. This has been a brilliant display of attacking football.
De Bruyne fizzes in a cross, but a touch takes it away from Sterling at the back post. It really hasn't been his night.
But Manchester City have been hugely disappointing. The manager must take much of the criticism for a team selection that played straight into Liverpool's hands, but there have been too many players who haven't turned up either.
What a night this has been for Liverpool! The Jurgen Klopp era has arrived in style.
GOOOAAALLL!!! Skrtel makes it 4-1 to Liverpool with a thunderous strike! A corner is fired in towards the centre-back on the edge of the box, and he latches on to the second ball to fire home a sizzling strike that was past Hart before he even saw it. 4-1. Game over.
Benteke bursts clear on the break, holds off the last man and fires in a shot, but he made the angle difficult for himself and Hart makes a good save to keep City in it.
Sterling is put through, but Mignolet comes charging miles off his line to beat his former team-mate to the ball and hoof clear. That was sweeping that even Neuer would have been proud of.
Liverpool are going in search of a fourth, but their latest counter-attack sees the ball trickle through to Hart and the keeper clears.
The best player on the pitch, Firmino, is subbed off, with Christian Benteke coming on.
Taking off Aguero was understandable, but City have struggled to keep the ball in the final third since and the Argentine may well have taken his team's chances with him when he went off.
City have 20 minutes left to launch a comeback, but the chances have dried up.
Firmino's performance has been the standout for Liverpool, but Coutinho comes a close second. He's been excellent, pulling the strings on the break and showing a defensive side to his game that hasn't always been evident in the past.
The brilliant Coutinho has picked up a knock and is unable to continue, so off he goes and on comes Jordan Ibe (after a big hug from his manager).
Aguero has been good on his return, but playing the full 90 was always going to be unlikely and he is replaced by Kelechi Iheanacho.
