Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola says Sadio Mane’s red card helped City demolish Liverpool 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Guardiola said the game was balanced when both sides had 11 players, but noted that the red card changed the equation of the game.

“It was one game at 11v11, it was equal, we both had chances, but the game was equal. Liverpool are so quick and fast.

“After 10v11 it was a little bit easier for us, and we played the second half the way we wanted to. They didn’t do well.

“The game was open until the sending-off. Ederson, the doctor says there is nothing broken. He also saved us in the first half from Mohamed Salah.

“Mane didn’t see him, he was looking at the ball but the impact was huge. I don’t know if it was a red card. I didn’t speak about the decision when we had Kyle Walker sent off against Everton so I will not now,” he said.
