And with that, I’m off. It’s been a blast, and now I’m all typed out. Bye!

James Milner talks about penalties at both ends.

That was very intense. Both teams went for it and I’m sure it was a good game for a neutral. It hink it was a good game. Disappointing not to get the three points once we went ahead, but maybe a draw was fair in the end. They’re such a good team, they move in pockets of space, you’ve got runners everywhere, overlaps. It’s not the easiest of days coming away here.

[On his challenge on Sterling] 50/50. You’ve seen them given, sometimes they’re not. Luckily for me this one wasn’t. I think if you’d said a draw we’d have been happy with that. Obviously the way the game went we were up, and we had chances but they had chances as well. They had chances too. We’ve played well recently, we need to keep going, keep improving. It’s a big push for the finish, and we’ll finish as strong as we can.

Any team which achieves this is a very silly team.

Of them all, how Lallana didn’t restore Liverpool’s lead remains a complete mystery.

90+5 mins: It’s over! It was breathlessly entertaining stuff from first to last, and if you count improbable misses and should-have-been-given penalties actually ended 5-4.

90+4 mins: With 30 seconds of stoppage time to play, Agüero shoots high from 25 yards. Is that it?

90+4 mins: Still they push. De Bruyne finds Sagna overlapping on the right, and his cross is headed down and then acrobatically cleared.

90+2 mins: There will be four minutes of stoppage time. What stoppages, ref?

90+1 mins: Big miss from Agüero! De Bruyne on the right chips the ball across goal, and Agüero has time and space, eight yards out, prepares to sidefoot a volley in, and then sidefoots his volley over!

90+1 mins: Sagna gifts the ball to Mané, who might have run clear on goal had his first been better. Instead, Stones steals.

90 mins: City are passing the ball around the back-line. The last 30 seconds have been the calmest of the game.

89 mins: Mané gets booked for pretty much assaulting Silva. Liverpool take off Can, who has been pretty good, and bring on Lucas.

87 mins: Chance for City! Silva plays a one-two with De Bruyne and pulls back to Agüero, who sidefoots wide!

85 mins: Fact-correction dept: It was Wijnaldum with the lovely chip in the build-up to Lallana’s ludicrous miss, not Can.

84 mins: Agüero, who after a quiet hour has come to life in the closing stages, is shoved off the ball on the left wing by Clyne. The free kick is cleared for a corner. The corner is just cleared.

83 mins: This has been a story of astonishingly sustained breathless activity. It just hasn’t stopped. It’s barely even paused.

83 mins: Then a Liverpool break ends with Firmino unaccountably shooting wide from a silly position when a cross to Lallana seemed more sensible.

82 mins: Down the other end, Sterling is played in, Mignolet rushes out, Sterling prods the ball past him, runs into the keeper, and the ball rolls wide.

81 mins: It’s a lovely Liverpool move, Lallana siezing upon a loose ball on halfway and surging forward. He passes to Firmino, who passes back to, I think, Can. He chips a pass to Firmino, who heads inside to Lallana, who has an easy task to put Liverpool ahead once again! But for some reason he doesn’t.

80 mins: Incredible miss! Missaccio! The miss of misses! Miss world!

78 mins: For about five minutes every award for City – free-kick or throw-in – has been sarcastically cheered by home fans who don’t think they’ve had the rub of the green. The frequency with which they’re doing so suggests they’re not doing too badly.

76 mins: City hit the post! It was really excellent work from Agüero, who carried the ball towards the area, played a one-two, jinked inside and then, just before he tapped in, fell over. The ball kept rolling, though, and ended up at the feet of De Bruyne beyond the far post, whose first-time effort smacks the woodwork.

73 mins: Liverpool’s first change sees Origi come on for Coutinho, who has not been at his best (hat tip to Ian Copestake).

72 mins: Liverpool regain possession and attack again. Firmino’s cut-back to Lallana is kind of cut out, won back again and returned to Firmino. This time he lashes a shot towards the near post, and misses by a whisker.

71 mins: Mané squares up Silva, goes past him with ease, but then realises that Clichy is about to steal the ball from him anyway and falls over. The referee buys it, but the free-kick is headed clear.

Another low cross, this time from De Bruyne on the right, and it’s an absolute cracker. Klavan slides to try to cut it out at the near post, misses, and Agüero has a tap-in!

68 mins: Chance for city! Silva chips in a cross towards Aguero, who meets it with his head, 12 yards out. He needs to put power on the ball, as well as accuracy, but gets neither. In the end Sané rescues the ball away to the right of goal, but the attack breaks down.

67 mins: City win a corner on the left, which loops off a mess of heads in the middle towards Agüero, beyond the far post. He prepares to volley but Klavan leaps in front of him, distracts him, and the kick is missed.

65 mins: Touré’s race is run. Or strolled, anyway. Sagna replaces him, releasing Fernandinho to go into midfield.

64 mins: Can goes on a surge to set up a Liverpool attack, but they decide to turn back, pass around midfield for a while then send it back further still to Mignolet.
