LIVERPOOL 2-2 MAN CITY

Martin Skrtel started with a fine goal but finished with a disastrous mistake that allowed Carlos Tevez to score Manchester City's second equaliser against Liverpool.

Yaya Toure got Roberto Mancini's side on level terms at Anfield after Skrtel's opener but Luis Suarez fired the Reds ahead. 

But Skrtel threw away Brendan Rodgers' precious point with a careless back-pass which fell to Tevez who rounded Pepe Reina and rolled the ball home.
