Manchester City came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in a pulsating Premier League encounter at Anfield.
After struggling against a dominant City in the first half, Liverpool took the lead in the 59th minute when Mohamed Salah threaded the ball through to Sadio Mane who confidently fired past goalkeeper Ederson.
But City were on level terms 10 minutes later when Gabriel Jesus cut in from the right, leaving four Liverpool defenders behind before finding Phil Foden who drilled the ball into the far, bottom corner.
Salah restored Liverpool's lead with a stunning individual goal, twisting and turning to lose Joao Cancelo and Aymeric Laporte before firing home.
Once again, though, City responded - Foden again finding space on the left and pulling the ball back to Kevin De Bruyne whose curling shot took a slight deflection off Joel Matip and beat keeper Alisson.
The result leaves Liverpool second on the Premier League table with 15 points, one behind leaders Chelsea.
Manchester City meanwhile leapfrog neighbours Manchester United into third, thanks to a superior goal difference, both on 14 points.
Earlier, Tottenham Hotspur ended a run of three successive Premier League defeats as Pierre-Emile Hojberg and a Matt Targett own goal secured a 2-1 home win over Aston Villa.
It was a much-needed fillip for a Tottenham side who have plummeted down the table since winning their first three games, easing the pressure on manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Son Heung-min failed to score for Tottenham but the industrious South Korean was the architect of their win.
It was his clever pass which allowed Danish midfielder Hojberg to open the scoring in the 27th minute and his brilliant run and cross towards Lucas Moura which ended with Targett getting the final touch in the 71st.
Villa had equalised when Ollie Watkins, recalled to the England squad this week, opened his league account for the season with a tap-in.
Victory lifted Tottenham to eighth place with 12 points while the end of Villa's three-match unbeaten league run left them 10th with 10 points.
