Dirk Kuyt scored an injury-time winner as Liverpool came back from two goals down to beat 10-man Manchester City.

Stephen Ireland lashed in a shot to put City ahead and Javier Garrido curled a 22-yard free-kick into the top corner to extend the home side’s lead.

But Fernando Torres slotted home and, after City’s Pablo Zabaleta was sent off for a tackle on Xabi Alonso, headed in to level for the visitors.

Kuyt then decided the match late on when he slotted in at the far post.

The game was a match up between the highest scoring side in the Premier League so far this season against a Reds side with the top-flight’s meanest defence.

There was a danger that the duo could cancel each other out but those fears proved unfounded after an action-packed match with plenty of drama.
