1. James Milner proved he not only knows how to convert a penalty after scoring his seventh penalty from seven, but he also knows how to get away with one following his kick on Raheem Sterling’s calf just as the winger was about to connect with the goal at his mercy.
2. Adam Lallana might possess one of the silkiest touches in the Premier League, but that miss proved sometimes the silk needs to be ditched for the laces.
3. The only thing more embarrassing than missing an open goal, is prematurely celebrating said miss. Step up Roberto Firmino.

4. Yaya Toure, whose contract expires in the summer, said he loves the frenetic pace of the Premier League and wants to stay in England. Judging by his huffing and puffing around the Eitad on Sunday and a lazy tackle on Emre Can, China might be more to his pace.
5. High-fiving Pep Guardiola has either been popping the happy pills or his sarcasm has reached new depths, following his positively ecstatic post-match interview. “This is one of the proudest days of managerial career” beamed Pep. Putting a 1-1 draw with Liverpool above Champions League trophies and Championship titles in both Spain and Germany.
