VIDEO: Liverpool completely embarrasses Man City’s defense with their team oriented third goal.

WOW! Just wow. Liverpool waltzed into Etihad Stadium and took absolutely no prisoners today. Even though Manchester City had 63% possession at the half, Liverpool just stomped all over City. Their first half was capitalized by this incredible team goal that started with an Emre Can backheel.

Look at this. Once Can backheeled to Philippe Coutinho, things really went under for Manchester City. All he needed to do was to get Joe Hart to go after him and then it’s a simple tap to his countryman Roberto Firmino and Firmino tapped it home for his first Premier League goal. With Liverpool winning 3-1 at the half, Leicester City will lead the Premier League if the result holds.
