Sterling celebrates his early opener with Suarez
Liverpool had given everything to bring them closer to the title, technically and mentally to the extent that their victory against City could bring tears of joy to their captain. Gerrard's game has changed, but he might just be playing the best football of his career. For the first half, they were a ball of fury, crashing Manchester City to pieces, scoring through Raheem Sterling in less than 6 minutes and Martin Skrtel in less than 30 minutes. Unfortunately, there was a negative for Liverpool which was the red car for Jordan Henderson due to a tackle on Samir Nasri that resulted in a three-match suspension.
Fortunately, luck was on Suarez's side as he managed to avoid a second yellow card. Clattenburg decided to go for a lenient approach to the Uruguayan player. Suarez gave himself a yellow card after a dangerous tackle on City's Martin Demichelis.
