Man City ace De Bruyne: We were excellent for Liverpool draw

Manchester City goalscorer Kevin de Bruyne says they can be happy with their point against Liverpool today.

The top of the table clash finished 2-2, with City remaining a point ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League leadership battle.

De Bruyne said: "It was hard. To be fair I think we played excellent. The way we played was very good and we should score more. It is what it is. It was a great game.

"I think it should [be more before half-time] but we were still winning. The way the second half started is the disappointment. I think we played great and created enough chances to win the game."

On who the point benefits more, the midfielder also said: "It's similar. I know people said whoever wins gets the title. But it's too hard, the schedule is too tough for both teams to win every game, but we will try."

On the chance for Riyad Mahrez at the end, he added: "It's a great chance. Riyad chose to chip and if it goes in it's a wonder goal.

"Today we played very well, I think we had the upper hand. This is the way we need to play the rest of the season."
